We met up with our friends Paul and T, brother Bill and Jan from Illinois on Friday. This is the first leg of their 21 day journey to New Brunswick and the Easter seaboard. We’re tagging along with them to Montreal in their 35 foot motor home (the rock star bus). Bill and Jan have a 38 foot fifth wheel!
We had dinner down town at the Bier Markt a very nice gastro-pub down on Toronto’s Esplanade. I had a very nice, but pricey roasted beet salad, made of both golden and red beets, with a mixture of goats cheese and blue cheese fritter balls. Paul ordered a home made sausage appetizer sampler that looked amazing. T had asparagus and scallops.
Overall rating (in my opinion): Decor 4/5, service 3.5/5, food 4/5, Value 2.5/5, Noise: 3/5 (1 being very noisy, and 5 being very quiet).
Last minute, we got a wonderful invite to Rae and Mon’s for a drink on our way to the trailer park! We loved the idea and stopped by!
We stayed overnight in a campground just east of the city, hoping it will give us a head start to our trip to Montreal. It kinda / sorta did. There are always issues, and hiccups, this morning (day) was no different.
What normally is a five hour trip, will likely be nine. We have reservations in the old town this evening for dinner.
Sounds like a yummy dinner! Rock Star busses are cool, huh? My sister has one and she & her hubby travel full time!
Thanks Ann. It’s an experience, that’s for sure.
You are so right about the “hiccups.” No matter how well-planned the trip, some unexpected event or circumstance is bound to occur. Best to roll with the punches and move on — which it sounds like you did. Safe travels!
Thanks John, It was one hiccup after another, to be truthful!
Holy cow, you weren’t kidding about the size of that thing were you! I’d hate to think how many miles to the gallon it does
The salad you had sounds great… wish we could get golden beets in France 
Yes, Charles, it’s mammoth and yet it’s not the biggest one either! And it does eat the gas like nothing else! I think they mention that it’s about 60¢ a mile!
And back here too
Happy days! I remember this bus. Talk about luxury on wheels 
This is great. I think it’s bigger than some campgrounds.
That’s a challenge, Greg. Driving this monster truck is no easy feat; unless you’re going in a straight line.
And another answer here.
Love the rock star bus!
Here is where I found out how you travelled to Montreal in the fall of 2011.
I’ll bet that was fun traveling in one of these! We want an airstream one day…one of those cool old ones!
Question three answered from here… you know, I saw that post also with the inside of the bus… amazing thing that is
You must’ve had an awesome time!
I too got my answer from this post
