Cross-Canada Drive Day #1 – Walkerton to Neys Provincial Park, Ontario

Categories:

Everyday Life, North America, Travel

Better late than never….  We tweeted pictures from our phones to keep ourselves sane during our almost 5000 km drive from southern Ontario to the Northwest Territories this summer.  Here’s a collection of the tweets from day one: Walkerton Ontario to Neys Provincial Park in Northern Ontario (1184 km or 736 miles of driving).  We didn’t have internet (or any cell service!) for a big part of the drive, so we published our tweets every time we refuelled at a Tim Hortons.

Day 1 of our cross-Canada road trip: 1184 km (736 miles)

    Ohhh I am so glad that the drive is over!
    That is like driving from Barcelona to Nice and BACK! From New York to Miami!

    And that is just DAY ONE of four!
