Camping

Yesterday we checked out off the expensive hotel and went to a Provincial park that has a march where a lot of geese gather every night to spend the night. The geese are loading up food to prepare for the big annual trek South. I took some pictures, but it was very dark and you don’t see any geese. Last night we camped for 11 dollars. I must say slept just as good on my Thermarest mattress in our tent than in the soft hotel bed. It’s thanksgiving weekend and this camp site is in another provincial park very close to Winnipeg. So there are lots of people with big pick-up trucks full of beer and firewood who had a party last night. One of our neighbours was snoring very loud but still I slept very well.

Today we’re heading north to an island in Lake Winnipeg to hike and maybe we’ll see some moose. Unfortunately the weather has changed and it is grey, rainy and cold. In combination with the totally flat landscape it really reminds me of the Netherlands. No, I’m not homesick…
