Nelson Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

juhuuuu ihr lieben, einen ganz lieben gruss aus der ferne an alle, die noch mit uns reisen! befinden uns mittlerweile schon seit zwei tagen auf dem sogenannten alcan-highway (ALaska - CANada), einem sehr geschichtsträchtigen highway, der in dawson creek (british columbia) anfängt und logischerweise nach alaska führt. zur geschichte der strasse: damals, im jahre 1942, gab es noch keine strassenverbindung von kanada nach alaska, daher hat man beschlossen, eine zu errichten. die amerikaner wollten ihre militärgerätschaften über kanada nach alaska bringen, denn alaska war damals rein krieg [View Full Entry]

Hello to all of the people in the workforce, what's it like? haha! So, where were we! We left Calgary for Waterton Lakes National Park. We arrived nice and early which allowed us to explore the town and some walks. Lots of the hikes were still snow-covered so we opted out of many of them. The one we did was only 1 foot of snow or so. We sang songs and made noise during our walk to avoid an encounter with Mr. G (aka Grizzly). Altho the forecast for the area was for 15 C, the gale force winds that blew [View Full Entry]

Shambhala

 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Nelson
I've been hanging out in Nelson, spending most of the day at the beach meeting some cool cats. Theres a festival here in about a week called Shambhala, I've heard from a lot of people that it's a really good festival so I've spent the last few days trying to wriggle my way into working there and I've had success. So for the next week I'll be volunteering out there getting the party ready, eating good food and getting a free ticket, sweet! So I'll be gone for a while, will update on how good the party was when I get [View Full Entry]

Hitched out of Kamloops after getting a ride to the highway early in the morning, took me 3 hours to get a ride but eventually got picked up by a cool guy who was with his wife, listened to some metal. He gave me some bad advice on how to get to Nelson and I didn't have a map so I trusted him, turned out he gave me really bad advice and I ended up having to stay the night in a town called Invermere. It was a very snooty town, apparently it's the closest town to a REALLY REALLY big [View Full Entry]

Well, it's been a bit too long since I've been able to update. I last left off talking about my experiences in the forests with deer and day trips to Campbell River. Alot has happened since then. I've been through Tofino, en route to Nanaimo, and then southbound to Victoria. From there I high-tailed it back across the interior of Bc to Nelson, my previous home. So that's where I am currently, but I've still much to report. I think I left on a cliff hanging note about my day trip to Campbell River. So I guess I'll start from there! [View Full Entry]

WOW!!! So much has happened since the last update, it will be hard to do any of it justice. With mixed emotions, Edmonton was behind us :( and the rockies in front of us :). The plan being to camp a day in Jasper National Park and one in Banff National Park. After a few hours of driving and just as my eyes were starting to feel a little heavy I was quickly jolted back to reality with the first sighting!!!!! There it was, a snow covered peak off in the distance! It was like a pot of coffee poured directly [View Full Entry]

Well folks we are home in Canada. What a trip!!! I loved every part of Vietnam and would go again in a second. A bit of an update from when we left Hoi An. After picking up our new clothes (which we love!!) we decided we must head for Hanoi and Halong Bay. Once again we chose to fly cause we were almost out of time..another 1 hour flight and we landed at the Hanoi airport. The mini bus to town left us close to where we wanted to stay and a short walk later we were having trouble finding a [View Full Entry]
