Some Words from our Crew

Di Clohessy

I was blown away by the hospitality shown by the Peterborough locals.  Two ladies brought shooters for our whole team while we were having dinner - so of course we had to reward their generosity with our famous songs.  We were invited by our ambassador Melanie - for 33 of us to her wonderful waterfront home where we enjoyed playing tennis, drinking Canadian beer and I found my spot on the hammock overlooking Clear Lakre.  Our very generous hostess prepared a Canadian feast, however like Australians would we ate the fruit kebabs with our main instead of leaving them for the wonderful chocolate cake with said "welcome Missabittatitti Team".

Hi to everyone in Aus - WOW!! We are currently on our way to Niagara Falls after having 5 days in Peterborough.  It's been a fantastic experience.  Paddling and meeting many amazing people and so much laughing - great fun!  We have had an awesome trip from Vancouver through the 'Rockies'with the most beautiful scenery just unbelievable.  Everyone s starting to slowly tire??  Time for a little rest until we arrive in NYC - cant wait!!  Miss you all, Ellen and Paul xx
