Ottawa River Road Trip

Sorry, but this post has nothing to do with waffles.

This weekend, I went to the Ottawa River for some kayaking action. At 4.5 hours, it is certainly not the closest destination, but with extreme low water in Ontario, there's nowhere else to go :(

Usually we make food on these kayaking/camping trips, but for a few reasons we decided to make it an eating out adventure.

-We only got organized on Saturday afternoon for a trip leaving 5 am Sunday morning

-Three of us, three boats, three sets of kayak gear, 2 tents and numerous sleeping bags etc meant that we had very little food/stove room in Milton's civic

-What I like to call the "L" factor - for those that don't know, this stands for laziness

Anywho, we went to the "Schnitzel Haus" in Enganville on Sunday night. I was expecting the worst, but it was reasonably classy, tasty and surprisingly packed. I had some tasty fish and chip - came with potato, coleslaw and veggie instead of chip by special request. $12 all together including a gigantic glass of german beer. Others said the schnitzel was super tasty and very hearty for about $12 per main course (including potato and veggie).

Then it was off to the local eatery for breakfast this morning (sorta near Cobden - just down from River Run). I had the breakfast special (3 eggs, 3 slices bacon, 2 slices toast and home-fries) all for $4.00!!! How can you go wrong with that??? There was a rather crusty local dude that we started to chat with and then he professed a real hate for Westerners, in particular Albertans. He didn't seem to have much back-up upon further questioning, so I said that I knew quite a few rude Ontarians...
