So our adventure was coming to an end and another early start at 5:30 meant we were up and packing ready to leave at 7:30, having said goodbye to Canadian Chris and leaving our Jamboree tents behind as a gift to the 1st Stroud Scout Group. We crossed the border back into the US and …
Up for a quick breakfast and we waited for Joe to pick us up at 8 as we were heading to Niagara Falls for the day. Once we arrived after a 2 1/2 hour journey me and Chris went to buy tickets for the behind the falls tour and a boat trip. First stop was …
A more relaxed start to the day as due to Joe’s hours (our driver) we could use the coach until gone 11. Not a worry as we cooked up a breakfast and all the Explorers chilled out. We set off and arrived at the town of Midland around 1ish, eat our packed lunches and had …
Up at 6:30 to pack ready for the long journey up to Canada and grab some breakfast. The coach was due to pick us up at 8:30 but didn’t arrive until 9:30 but we were finally on our way. Not long into the journey we stopped on the side of the road as the mirror …
