Continuing our travels around Lake Superior.





Same lake - different day
I don't know what it is about Lake Superior that is keeping us close; there are 5 Great Lakes and we will see/touch all of them.  For the moment though there is only one and we are there!

We spent 2 lovely days in Grand Marais - it was truly beautiful! We biked everywhere; found a coffee shop and a fudge shop! All tastes catered for! I bought a CD - Loon Echo Lake -recordings of loons mixed with music including Vivaldi and Debussy's Claire de Lune. We went out for dinner on the second night - Dockside Fish Market for a meal of  fish and chips sitting on a deck overlooking the lake.





On Friday 31 August we crossed the border into Canada and Pigeon River. We turned our clocks forward an hour - now on Eastern Time Zone and only 12 hours behind Perth!
Miles became kilometres and petrol/gas became litres instead of gallons.
We had no problems at the border with visas or the RV. The reason for our entering Canada to continue driving around Lake Superior was accepted with a smile as if the most obvious.



And now we could seriously start looking for a moose ... or even a bear!
