It was a long cold night waiting at the train station in Parry Sound. We arrived at 2:00 am and immediately unloaded our gear onto the platform but quickly determined that there was no way we could stand around in the wind for any length of time. So back to the car for an endless game of "Do you hear that?" "Is that the train?" for a full two hours. We were even fooled once into jumping out but alas, it was only a freight train. Finally, the train arrived and we boarded. Rae and I have our section of the car all to ourselves!!! There are three sets of bunks in our area which means that as long as no one else gets on, we might be able to leave our beds down for the day.
Seeing how it was now past 4am, we ditched our baggage and immediately tried for sleep.
But this is way too exciting to sleep!
I lay there drifting in and out to the rumble of the train for a while but when I felt it start to slow, I gave up on sleep and sat up. It wasn't light enough outside to see anything but my phone's map says we are just outside Sudbury.
They said that breakfast starts at 6:30 so we might as well stay up now and eat before we try once more to sleep!
