We
took a good long walk through downtown and through the snow covered
woods in Hamilton to visit the nice waterfalls in this area, but
after walking already 10,6 km we arrived at the first one which was
frozen, anyway it was cool because you could still hear some water
flowing down under it. Furtheron we passed by 2 small frozen
waterfalls and then decided to go to the nearest bus station as
finally 15 km through sometimes 30cm deep snow were enough for one
day. Unfortunately we never reached the bigger waterfalls though.
Back home we unpacked the backpacks and walked to Walmart and to
another convinience store called Bulk Barn which was really
impressive and also kind of disgusting as Bulk Barn sells everything
in huge plastic bins ( looking like garbage bins) – you could buy
prepared powder mixture for everything (different types of cookies,
crust for crispy chicken) then you could buy all kinds of candies,
even chips in huge quantites and even prepared pie stuffings.
Finally
we grabbed something to eat at Walmart: Jannik had noodles with just
salt and tomato paste for dinner and Me enjoyed a nice plate of
fresh mixed vegetables with tomato paste. This was really tasty.
Because of being so tired after the approx. 15 km walk through
the snow we fell asleep at 8 and slept solid 11 hours.
