We were slightly delayed in leaving Winnipeg because of a dodgy wheel lug on our 2015 Nissan Micra, but Curtis Tire fixed us up and we finally left around 5pm. Normally on the first day on the road we make it to Swift Current but in this case we gave up at Brandon and desolately checked into a hotel and sat in the hot tub.
