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.

The highest restroom!! North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

Train to Toronto

Well our last day in Toronto was ok, we dragged our huge bags to the bus depot to lock away for 7 hours whilst we tried to entertain ourselves. Luckily it was a really sunny day (wish I hadn't preparaed for the cold air con train this eve by wearing jeans and a jumper) so we just walked around for a bit, found a nice marina to eat our pack lunch at. We were waiting for the best gap in the weather to ascend the CN tower so I was happily distracted for an hour at "paws ohoy" a dog and [View Full Entry]

Yo Ho Ho! -- It's Yo Ho National Park North America » Canada » British Columbia » Golden

Morning mist rises from campground
In the morning we were stunned to look up and see we were surrounded by peaks with glaciers!

Yo Ho Ho! Hurray for Yoho - National Park! Thurs Sept 10-Fri Sept 11: Though we began our stay at Yoho with another early night, listening to the rain on the roof of the van, the next morning was magic as the mist rose off the surrounding mountains and we saw what a stunning place we were in. Looking up we saw rugged mountains all around us, including Cathedral Peaks and also a glacier just above our very site! At Yoho we first encountered the “bare campsite” policy. We were instructed by the ranger at the entry gate that we mustn’t [View Full Entry]

Wooden boxes

The end of our little trip is near. We are now back in Vancouver. Thursday, we picked Adrian and Brenda up from the ferry terminal at Tsawassen. We invited them over to join us and spend together with us the last couple of days in Vancouver. Brenda got us a real good deal on a 4 star hotel in downtown Vancouver, the Listel hotel. Really luxurious. Check it out, www.thelistelhotel.com. Apart from that, everything is in walking distance, Stanley Park, Chinatown, Gastown and the lively center. Before we went to the hotel we visited the campus of the University of Columbia, [View Full Entry]

Into Canada at last! North America » Canada » British Columbia » Cranbrook

Loading in from the side of the van
OK, so I haven't fixed the flat tire yet...I still hope to use the bike.

Into Canada at last! Up the Columbia River Valley in British Columbia Tues Sept 8-Wed Sept 9: The day had come to enter Canada! We were ready, we thought. We'd laid in some fresh provisions and pulled our passports out of their hiding place. Not many people were at the border crossing on Route 95 so it looked like a piece of cake. Little did we know we were moving into the realm of illegality. The guard at the crossing wanted to know how long we'd be in Canada. “We're not sure,” I replied, happy to be a grey nomad at [View Full Entry]

Brier Island, Nova Scotia Canada North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Annapolis Valley

Brier Island NS
HIGH & LOW TIDE,,

Brier Island NS Setting sail from Yarmouth NS in beautiful sunny weather, our intention was to set sail to Grand Manan Island NB via the Brier Island pass. Not even an hour out of Yarmouth we sailed into very heavy fog, lasting the duration of our sail and making the approach to Brier Island a very challenging one. Not to forget that in the passage of Brier Island, when not in slack tide, there are currents between 7 & 9 knots. With radar on and keeping a close watch, we slowly entered the passage and made way for the Town [View Full Entry]
