From Embrun it was a six hour drive down the 401 towards Toronto, onto the toll road 407 to avoid the traffic of the Big Smoke then the 400 north through Barrie and on to Balm Beach on Georgian Bay. We had thought it would be a great idea to break up the drive to Elliot Lake, our next destination, by stopping for the night where Phil and Fer and the kids were holed up for a week. It was the second year in a row they had spent some time in the Balm Beach resort area, renting a cottage just a few minutes walking distance to the beach, large games room and restaurants. We spent the rest of the day after arriving relaxing at the beach, having an ice cream and dipping our toes in Georgian Bay. We were on the road after a delicious breakfast served by Fernanda and, with the promise of another hot day, expected to be in Elliot Lake for supper. 🅶🆆🆂
