Hamilton, Sun-Mon-Jan-17-18


Sunday we relaxed around the house; cloudy and humid, a good day to get caught up on laundry, watch rugby and read a book. Tom fired up the BBQ for Moroccan lamb sausage. Monday raining – we decided to check out the shops! We drove to The Base outlet centre and looked for bargains; first time with no map in the car!
Our rented Ford Focus still smells like an ashtray and won't set any speed records but it is miserly on fuel; the equivalent of $CDN 1.45 for regular. The drivers are aggressive; especially those driving small vehicles which lack adequate acceleration to pass on the short straights so try to intimidate others to drive faster by tailgating. Meanwhile the police are running a media campaign implying that "foreign tourists" cause most of the accidents. Go figure......... We are ready to start week two....
