Linda and Britt-Marie, getting ready for breakfast. As Swedes we couldn't resist visiting IKEA. We'd never been to one outside of Sweden before, and was amazed that they kept all the Swedish names for stuff. Felt just like home, they even had Swedish cookies and pastry in the restaurant. And ofcourse, we needed pictures of the IKEA sign.

   
Our rental car, a Buick Century. Very nice car, but it felt like driving a huge TANK, and not a car. I'm driving a Ford Ka at home, a very very much smaller car.

We arrived at a windy Stratford in the afternoon,  We went in search for a restaurant to have late lunch, early dinner. Nice, small town view after the big city. After a nice meal at a Chinese/Canadian restaurant we dropped Linda off at Queen and Albert. This is one of the cute cats at Linda's B&B.

 
It was getting a bit cloudy again, very dramatic skies. It didn't start to rain until we had parked in the underground garage across the street from the hotel. We got soaked just crossing the street. Our hotel, The Bentleys Inn. Our suite was the one in the corner behind that white crane.
