Scenery was mainly lakes a trees for most of the journey.

Did manage to see a beaver swimming towards his lodge, some turtles,  a few herons and a black bear but the train was going too quickly to take pics.

Stopped at a place called Parry Sound where the platform was so small that the train had to move forward 3 times so that everyone who needed to could get off. I pity the poor cars waiting at the level crossing next to the station.

Then it was Muskoka country with thousands of lakes and very expensive  holiday homes.

No lunch today as the train was due to arrive at 2pm so brunch was served instead. To be honest it looked just like the breakfast menu!

After brunch Paul was talked into playing bingo – everyone who played got a glass of champagne! He didn’t win.

Finally arrived in Toronto at about 3.30pm. Seems really odd that the freight trains always have priority and so the passenger trains are often late.

Had to wait ages for the cases to come off the train but getting to the hotel was a nice surprise – a very plush Sheraton. Unpacked and then had a long soak in the bath. Hope my ankles reappear over the next couple of days, they’ve been very swollen since being on the train.

Now for a beer and a sandwich followed by an early night.
