Sioux Narrows to Fort Frances

Another beautiful fine day, now in Ontario. However it was quite hilly and we had a strong headwind most of the day. 

I rode with Harry Roettele who is about 75, and Linda most of the day. We stopped at Nestor falls mid morning where I had and ice cream. The fellow running the place allowed us to sit in the lounge adjacent his store looking out over the falls. 

He made us a fresh pot of coffee and told stories about the area.

We were beside Lake of the Woods still, he says it has 14,600 islands - many privately owned with bachs on them.

The ride today was 150 km, which took me 7 hours and 10 minutes - so quite a hard day at the office.

Tonight we are staying in a hotel even though it isn't a rest day - the place is the  Rendezvous Hotel on Rainey Lake. Lovely views. Had a good pasta dinner at the adjacent hotel.
