Milan

Last night we stayed between Sandusky and Milan (pronounced Meal-on apparently, so not to be confused with a placed in Europe). It’s claim to fame in Milan is that it was the birthplace and childhood home of Thomas Edison.

Next stop is 188 miles away in Shipshewana (did you get the clue??)

Bye bye Canada

Welcome to Erie, Pennsylvania famous for (well nothing much actually). It was a booming place in the 1700s but tanked in the 1960s and 70s and never really recovered. Today it’s got a regenerated harbour area for posh yacht owners and visitors and a super conference complex. But, the views of the lake are ace and the hotel great. It’s also got a really fab infinity pool which we just had to test out

This is the south side of Lake Erie, so by the time we have finished our tour we will have nearly travelled the whole edge of the lake.

I’ve just watched the sunset, now watching a storm come in over the water.

Mr Fogg is fast asleep after our 4 hr 120 mile ride today. Tomorrow it’s another long one too and getting closer to the end of the holiday. Boo!

Deity Nibbles

One more example of tacky.

This is a local sweet emporium in Niagara CasVegas, no doubt selling “Crown of Thorn(tons chocolates)”, jelly nails, 30 silver coated chocolate coins and the “Spear(mint) of Destiny”.

Water Works

Oooh Niagara is tacky night or day, but a nice view of the falls from the hotel and cool fireworks each night
