We left Trenton hoping to get through 12 locks to Campbellford since the day looked like a perfect travel day. As we all know, forecasts are not always correct and while we were in lock 3, a downpour came. Since it didn’t last long, we continued on. As soon as we pulled out of lock 6, we heard thunder and the sky was dark so we decided to tie up to the wall. Each lock has four walls available to stay on- two above the lock and two below. Some have power, most do not. Luckily we had power! Another downpour came – so glad we pulled over - we would have been miserable. Looking at the forecast now, thunderstorms are likely till 7:00 tonight.
The rain continued into the next day as well. The water level is already so high here and water is just standing in people’s yards. We stayed put and enjoyed going into town during rain breaks for some delicious Italian food at Dimitri’s.
Do they take US Dollars or do you have to convert them?
ReplyDeleteWe've done both. Mostly we just use a credit card but we did get some Canadian money for stores. For tips, they'll take U.S. - in fact, they like U.S. since our dollar has more value right now. It's a good time to be here.
