Monday, June 15, 2009 – Day 18

As part of our cross Canada adventure we let our kids pick out one amusement park to visit. They selected Canada’s Wonderland in Toronto. We did enjoy ourselves but found that the old rides were very jerky and bumpy and left most of us with a headache. Of the many roller coasters, the Beamouth was the smoothest and tallest drop roller coaster in the park and we saved that ride for the last.

Septic Mishap – Phew!
After an exhausting amusement park day I was ready for an early night’s sleep.

We found a campground in a suburb of Toronto and quickly got to work in setting up our motorhome. As usual we plugged in our electrical, hooked up our water and removed the septic cap to dump our septic hose into the designated spot in the ground. To our horror we discovered a problem with the valve that is supposed to close off our septic system. It would not close and no matter what we tried, removing the cap brought down some rather smelly stuff. With a quick swipe we did manage to attach the septic drain to the motorhome but not before a pool of rather foul smelling stuff lay under our motorhome.

Kirsten was not impressed with the smell as she attempted to get to sleep. In the end we turned our venting fan off that normally would blow the air out of the motorhome (because when air leave up top, it comes in from down below somewhere, phew!) This is definitely a problem we are going to have to have a look at… it is not a problem we want to repeat!
