Sunday - September 16, 2007

Today was nice and sunny but cool, we won’t complain as at least we saw sun all day. Today was a long driving day – Levis to Carleton Place with a detour where we got lost at Hawkesbury! Boy, after all the traveling we have done we find Eastern Ontario to be the worst place for directions and signage – we really do dislike traveling in this part of Ontario!! There is a definite lack of signage and we get really irritated when it is all in French – we have no problem with French signage but do think that seeing how this is Ontario there should also be English signage!!!! As for it being the nation’s capital it is pretty embarrassing to see what little signage we have for tourists directing them to all the sights here –we get the feeling that they would rather the tourists go away.

Tonight we are at Tranquil Acres, just outside of Carleton Place and although it is an okay campground the prices are outrageous - $34/night for a so-so spot. We had much nicer spots in Newfoundland and the Gaspe for a lot less, I really do wonder what our neighbours to the south think when they come to places like this with the prices they charge. I know today was a long day and I am getting grouchy – guess it is carrying through to my diary tonight so I will close now before I get real miserable.

I see you stayed at Tranquil Acres. We consider it our home park and really like it there. We spent three months there this summer. It was our first park after we bought our RV. The owners are now like our family. It's expensive for a night but much better for a month and there's no charge for electricity on the monthly charge so we don't think it's bad at all. They've been good to us letting us come in before they open this year!
