Day 26 June 25, 76km, 25°C cloudy, NW wind




Deloraine to International Peace Gardens.
We had a good start to the day with the NW wind pushing us east at a healthy clip until we turned south to head up Turtle Mountain (it’s only a hill really and doesn’t deserve the name mountain)It was only 19km to the park where we intended to camp but there were no places with grass for a tent and the overflow site had grass but only pit toilets and no showers or running water. TimB claimed he wanted to stay there but it was a little too close to nature for me so we moved off down to the Peace Gardens on the border to think about it. As it turned out the Peace Gardens had a much nicer campsite and full facilities so that is where we stayed. We did the walk through the gardens and rode the north and south scenic routes around the woods and lakes. The chef cooked dinner on a campsite table and we enjoyed chicken soup with rice followed by rice with tinned chicken flakes tossed in. I was glad I’d had a nice strawberry milkshake at the park café. I won’t give you any details on the park, have fun looking it up on the web. The full name is International Peace Park. Night night.
