Trip: World tour

There are [115] stories from my trip: World tour


Capilano Suspension Bridge and Vancouver

CANADA | Saturday, 8 Mar 2008 | Views [461] | 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

CANADA | Wednesday, 5 Mar 2008 | Views [286]

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!

CANADA | 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

CANADA | Tuesday, 26 Feb 2008 | Views [285] | 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

CANADA | Wednesday, 20 Feb 2008 | Views [304] | 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

CANADA | 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 >

Canada's capital

CANADA | Sunday, 17 Feb 2008 | Views [202]

Hiya folks. I've been a bit busy (and had pretty much no access to the internet), so I haven't updated in a little while. Well, it's not even a week, but it feels like a while. I've gotta get used to not having the net, I can't imagine having unlimited ... Read more >

Toronto and Niagara Falls

CANADA | Monday, 11 Feb 2008 | Views [217] | Comments [1]

I've spent a few days in Toronto, and have nothing to really report on it. I am a boring shit! I have been mostly working, so except for a couple of walks, I haven't really done much. Toronto has a kind of a Melbourne feel to it, I guess you could say ... Read more >

Viva Las Biodome!

CANADA | Saturday, 9 Feb 2008 | Views [268]

Viva Las Biodome!! Ah, good times. If you don't understand, I don't want to be your friend anymore. Or, seems as only 2 people I know will only get it, think C-grade films. Not just any C-grade film. A PAULY SHORE C-grade film. Oh yeah baby. Bidome.... Read more >

Montreal in retrospect

CANADA | Saturday, 9 Feb 2008 | Views [257]

I think the strangest thing for me, as I entered Toronto, was speaking in English. Although my French consists of a meagre ten or so phrases (including the completely over-utilised 'je ne comprendes pas'), it was, for some reason unknown to me, comforting.... Read more >
