We planned an early escape out of Kenora b/c the weather network was calling for bad weather to roll in later in the afternoon. I set an alarm for 7am to Joanna's disapproval but to her enjoyment we awoke at 7am to the sound of rain. Surprise, surprise the weather man was a little off again, we rolled back over and fell back asleep. He was right in one respect as the afternoon approached the drizzle from the morning to turned to sheets of rain with massive thunder and lightning. So this day was soon written off as a rest day chilling and hoping for better tomorrow. We spent most of our time under a large sheltered area but at night as we hit the tent it was like someone was hanging around our tent with a strobe light. The clouds looked more like a violent ocean than a sky and the lightning was in any other circumstance spectacular.
Day2, same as day one with the prospect of three more days of rain ahead.
So that evening we walked about 1km to greyhound bought some tickets then prepared to peace outta the rain and kenora. One small detail was that the bus didn't leave until 1:15am so we had 9 hours to waste. We were able to leave our bikes and check on in the greyhound office so we did a walking tour of kenora stopping at various restaurants and Wallmart before finally relaxing at a 24-hour tim hortons right next the depot for the final three hours. With a full bus we got almost no sleep but 7 hours later we arrived dry in Thunder Bay.
Sry no photos not much to look at rain and the greyhound
