Day 30, Wed. June 25, Baldur, Man. 126.2 km

We left Deloraine at 8 despite the time change. The wind was at our backs and we had a great ride for 65 km past more marshy areas and lots of birds. Average speed for this section was 27 kph. The entrance to Kilarney, where we had coffee, had several gorgeous lakes and campgrounds. It looked like a thriving community.
Then we headed north to Ninette for about 25 km. It was into an ugly north-west wind and we stayed as a group going 14-15 kph. Ninette was disappointingly small but Pelican Lake had many pelicans and beautiful water which we enjoyed while having lunch on the shore. The drop down into Ninette reminded us of Princeton and the 1 km climb out was nothing at all!
We then headed for Baldur, Aleda's hometown, about 30 km further. The campground is by the school and was free, but had no showers. I went to the school for internet use but ending up getting showers for all of us in the school gym! Randy, the principal, stayed until 5 o clock so that we could take advantage of them. Thank you, Randy and Cheryl (secretary), for your hospitality and "happy last day of school" to you and the students.
