Travel Day 1 Entering Canada
London, Ontario, River View Campground June 6-13

We crossed into Canada over the Blue Water Bridge from Port Huron, Michigan. It was uneventful and a pleasant crossing into Canada no problems. We noticed that there was only one other motorhome. No other RV’s actually RV travel has been scarce the truck stops are empty. We took the 402 to 401 into London we will be staying at an ROD park until June 13.

Just as we are getting all settled in to watch the evening news we discover that we are here for the first heat wave with record breaking temps, so if that is not enough we find out that fuel prices in Canada are at an all time high in fact the price of fuel will jump 6 cents per liter at midnight tonight- We wonder should we head to the Flying J!!

Canada really prides themselves on their farmers markets- I was not expecting much when we walked into the first farmers market- wow was I surprised the produce looked wonderful and the price was right we stocked up on some corn, multi color-peppers and tomatoes. They were wonderful. We have found some wineries, craft breweries and LaBatt brewery all close to us. We will be checking them out this week.

Hey these prices don't look too bad- wait that price is for liters it takes 3.75 liters to equal 1 gallon- oh my you do the math I am scared!!!
