July 21 - Haliburton to Bancroft - 66 km

Rain, rain go away!!! It started sprinkling on us as soon as we left the B&B in Haliburton and turned into rain shortly after. Another day of slogging through rain and drizzle.
The countryside is rolling hills, and would be beautiful in nice weather. The roads were a little worse today and there was a fair amount of construction as they are upgrading them.
We had a great soup and sandwich at a little store / restaurant in Cardiff, and the rain stopped and the sun poked through. Nice conversations with the people at the store, one of whom was of Newfie extraction.
Bancroft is a bustling little town, and seems far busier than you would expect given the advertised population (3500). Apparently the population swells a lot in the summer from the cottagers.

Here you see "Leddy's Chinese Laundry" as we dry out our duds.

Hi there Greg and Laura,

Sounds like you're still having fun despite the rain. Love the pictures you put on the blog.
Depending which way you go when you get to Ottawa area you may be in my old stomping grounds. I'm a good old Quebecer you know.

Thanks for the updates and take care.
