Day 2....Off to Canada!

After a good night's sleep I was up by 7 a.m and was greeted by sunshine perfect for a long drive North.




During my previous evening's walk on deserted streets I had spotted a possible breakfast place called Heather's and once Carol was up we headed over there, maybe 5 blocks away to fuel-up for the drive.


We met the owner sweeping the sidewalk outside and  asked for a table in the window. There was just one other couple dining there at the time.


Heather's was a good choice and we had a delicious and filling breakfast.

and Hers


Excellent service and we would go back!



After breakfast we took a walk and some photos. The City Hall stopped and posed for some of them..

Time to go back to the hotel and pack up


The DoubleTree lobby

Our suite was very roomy and the balcony was a great plus as I spent a lot of time out there with coffee from the in-room machine which used coffee-pods. The balcony however was a poor piece of concreting by local artisans as it was bubbled-up at one corner like the surface of the moon and I had to wonder why Hilton never got that rectified. 

The room was blighted by some huge plastic plants or dust-magnets and they hadn't seen a duster in a while. No plants are a better option than plastic ones.

Good bathroom and bed so we were refreshed and ready for adventure!




Lovely driving day as we headed North towards the Mackinaw Bridge. Open farmland and each time we saw the words Scenic Overlook and Toilets we pulled over for a leg stretch or some coffee.





Next....the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge!
