In a nutshell

Monday, 10 Mar 2008 | Views [246] | Comments [2]

Well, here I am at the Calgary airport, about to bid Canada farewell. I can’t believe that I’ve been here for two months, and that I’m leaving. I must admit I’m looking forward to the weather change! I’ve decided to create a top and bottom ten ... Read more >

Last couple of days in Vancouver

Monday, 10 Mar 2008 | Views [298] | Comments [1]

My last couple of days in Vancouver were fantastic (despite being marred by a complete fwit). Andrew came and spent the weekend with Sarah and me, which was nice because it meant that one of my friends actually got to know him! It only took a year ... Read more >

Day trip to Seattle

Monday, 10 Mar 2008 | Views [246]

Friday was the day of Seattle. This meant getting up at 5:30 in the morning to catch the freaking bus at 6:15. Not pretty, considering that I didn’t get to bed until around 2am. Stupid friends and keeping me up late. Thankfully I managed to sleep ... Read more >

Victoria and Vancouver

Saturday, 8 Mar 2008 | Views [512] | Comments [6]

Okay, so when the alarm went off I was NOT a happy camper. Stupid guy, talking to me and keeping me up. We went through the arduous process of getting to Victoria. Victoria is the capital of British Columbia, found on Vancouver Island. It took an hour ... Read more >

Capilano Suspension Bridge and Vancouver

Saturday, 8 Mar 2008 | Views [460] | Comments [1]

Wow, what an amazing few days! I have been absolutely flat out and haven’t really had time to update. It makes a difference having somebody else to share time with – unfortunately for you (and perhaps my future memories) at nights I have been socialising ... Read more >

Day of laziness

Wednesday, 5 Mar 2008 | Views [285]

So……where was I? When I woke up this morning, I was ex-haust-ed. Staying up so freaking late (yes, 2am is late. I don’t care what you say) just buggered me. It may have been having to put up with an American who didn’t know what kind of snow he ... Read more >

Vancouver me up!

Tuesday, 4 Mar 2008 | Views [254] | Comments [4]

Hello my little chipmunks, I apologise for the belatedness of the update, but unfortunately I've been having far too much fun to stop and tell you about it! I met up with Sarah at the Vancouver airport and we trundled off to the hostel in downtown ... Read more >

Travel overload

Tuesday, 26 Feb 2008 | Views [283] | Comments [2]

Well, that was officially the longest train ride I have EVER been one. 44 freaking hours. However, it was not as bad as it sounds. Trains you can get up and move around in, and in the 4 or so carriages, there was a grand total of.......8 people. So, ... Read more >

The adventure of Churchill

Wednesday, 20 Feb 2008 | Views [303] | Comments [2]

So when we spoke last, my dear little readers, I was sitting calmly in the Radisson hotel, procrastinating, I believe. I didn't want to walk to the train station. Well. If your name is Tess, you know what's coming up. If not, sit back and get ready to, ... Read more >

Frigipeg

Sunday, 17 Feb 2008 | Views [262] | Comments [2]

Winnipeg is cold. Like, -30 cold. Well, okay at the moment it's only about -20, but apparently with wind chill the other day it was close to -50. AWESOME!! When I told people I was going to Winnipeg, the general response was 'Why?'. This frightened ... Read more >
