The First Leg

After a lot of rushing about to get everything packed an in the car I left Saturday morning and headed to Tilbury to pick up my partner in crime John.
We repacked the car and stuffed all of his things in and even seem to have room to spare.
We then headed off to Toronto, stopping on the way to try and see a few friends of mine. When we go to Toronto we stopped at John's sister's place to stay the night and hang out with friends before we began the real first leg of our journey.

On Sunday afternoon we headed off to new territory; Belleville and Kingston.
Since we had got a late start we got to Belleville in the late afternoon. It's a really nice little city and we got some great pictures from the top of the bridge they have over the bay.
We decided to keep moving on before stopping for the night so by dinner time we headed off again.
We got to Kingston in the evening and we saw some interesting things as we drove through like the Penitentiary and then stopped for the night.

I started to convert some of the pictures from our first day of travel into a test timelapse movie (that you can now see on the left) but had to wrestle with the software for a bit to get it to all come together. While the video converted and uploaded we got some dinner.
We had dinner at the Denny's attached to the hotel and had a deep philosophical conversation about the nature of the Universe. We also talked about why Dr. Who is awesome and Daleks the scariest sci-fi monsters of them all. Does our nerdyness know no bounds?

Next we plow through Quebec to get to the East as fast as possible.
