North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto December 6th 2010

It brings us great sadness to inform you that this is our last blog entry - this year at least. We fly home tomorrow, so as we sit in Starbucks, central Toronto, we will recall the stories of our last couple of weeks in Canada... So, we got a taxi to the bus station after packing and saying goodbye to our sweet little hotel above the sex shop, and for half the price of the taxi that took us there, making us realise how ripped off we had been on our first day in Montreal! We had a relatively long journey taking us from Montreal, back to Ottawa, then onto a connecting bus to Actinolite, a town on the route back to Toronto. We were now on our journey back to where we started, essentially back ... read more

The adventure is only two weeks away now. The countdown at the moment is really in relation to the 8 more days of employment.....soon the countdown will consist of hours/minutes. Still trying to finish up last minute planning and getting the trip organised so very little of that has to be done while on the road. Writing this however makes me wish I could leave tomorrow! Boston I'm ready ;-) Here's the plan for the USA and Canada - first stops are along the US east coast, followed by a stint in BC visiting my old boss Paul, then it's down to check out the west coast of the States! ... read more

Halloween

Crikey!

Gallivanting Gympie Boy and Wandering Coffs Girl

Friday night was Halloween party in our dress up stuff…if we hadn’t already discovered this, we were soon to realise that the Canadian’s go crazy over this holiday. I decided to run with the Aussie theme….Steve Irwin….the whole death thing….seemed appropriate at the time anyway. That wig looked horrendous (and was bloody itchy) but what really made it was the hand puppet croc. Zoe went as a biker’s hoe/slut/dodgy chick. I hope I don’t get into too much trouble for saying this but she pulled it off remarkably well!!! The night was topped off like all good nights in TO…..with a large hot dog from my dude on Bathurst and College…..great stuff that street meat. Sunday we did the whole pumpkin carving and had some Kiwi friends (those butches) over for Halloween themed pumpkin risotto and ... read more

We left Vancouver at 6 pm on The Greyhound, and spent three days traveling through Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Saw some amazing sunsets, and a beautiful sunrise. Got so sick of fast food, someone got robbed by a fellow passenger, and we met some nice people and arrived in Toronto, stinky, greasy and very tired. It was a wonderful adventure. ... read more
