December 4th, 2014.

I didn't fall asleep until 3, woke up at 5, and couldn’t fall back asleep. Oh well, might as well eat breakfast and get ready. Finishing off the rest of my left-overs, cleaning the dishes, showered, packed up the rest of my things, that kept me occupied until 7. Great, what now? I laid down on the couch, listened to the RoosterTeeth podcast and dozed off. Waking up at 9 to my phone ringing, the hostess was leaving now to come and pick me up.

Finally meeting her, I give her enough maple syrup candies and lollies for her and her entire family (four daughters and seven grandchildren). Loading my bag into her car, we depart.

Talking about Canada for the whole trip, we arrive at the station. Only a 5-minute drive. Much better than a hour hike. We say our goodbyes and thank-you, I now wait for the bus, having just over a hour to kill. I go inside to get out of the cold to get some coffee and food while waiting for the bus.

Finally it arrives, and it’s the same driver as before! We share a laugh, I board, and we take off. Halfway between point A and point B for me, we stop for a 15-minute break at a gas station. I go get a bottle of water, go back outside to enjoy the scenery. It’s going to be a beautiful day.

On the road again, going further North, my stop isn’t for another hour. I take a quick snooze before arriving at my destination. Getting off, there’s someone there from the bus company to take me further up the road to the town I’m getting to. Very interesting system they have here.

The driver doesn’t speak any English so I show him a picture of where I’m going, he nods and takes off. It was a very quiet ride. Eventually we get there, he gets my bag for me, and she shake hands goodbye.

I go into my cabin and punch in the code to the key box so that I can get it, but it won’t open. It’s frozen shut! I take out my pocket knife and begin hacking away at the ice. In time I get it off, open, and into my shack. Starting my unpacking, I put the stuff I want to send home off to the side. Once finished, I put my jacket and boots back on and take an adventure into town. I’m getting hungry and I have no food, a cafe is first up. Nope, couldn’t find one. A restaurant or a pub? Nadda. I do find a grocery store so I go in and buy a few days worth of food. I ask the cashier about a cafe or a restaurant. She laughs and tells me that the coffee house is only open during the summer, and the restaurant is being built right now. I have a good laugh at that as I pay for my food. Jumping next door, I buy some beer and start going back to my shack.

Cooking up some food, my companions help me in the preparation. Well, Reptar and Snickers do. Oliver Jr. and Emma are goofing off. Food made, I start typing out previous journal entries to post to my site.

Afterwards, I watch Robocop, some Adventure Time, whilst having a beer.

8:00 rolls around, my eyelids are getting heavy, I get ready for bed.
