Heey allemaal, even een update uit het niet meer zo koude Canada. Hoewel het bij jullie blijkbaar zo'n 15-20 graden is, ben ik hier al heel blij met de enkele graden boven nul die we hier nu hebben. Ik zit nu voor een raam in de woonkamer, met een prachtig uitzicht over The Valley. Over een uurtje ga ik weer naar school, naar softball tryouts, daarover meer later. Eerst March Break: In de nacht van vrijdag naar zaterdag met een groep van zo'n 20-30 andere grade 12's van NKEC in een bus naar Quebec. De bus vertrok om 5 uur 's nachts, en ik wist te slapen tot ongeveer 11 uur. Daarna nog een aantal uur in de bus gezeten, me bij elke stop afvragend waar in Canada ik nou eigenlijk was ... ;) In Quebec ... read more

My last couple of nights in Vancouver were more than a little ridiculous and loads of fun. After cramming everything into my pack in record time and actually leaving to catch the bus to the airport early (Who me? Yeah I know) I climbed onto the plane and embraced the feeling of once again being completely in transit. It is one of my favourite things of traveling, when you are mid air and you’re not permanently located in any one place, and completely in limbo, it’s the greatest feeling. Actually getting to Quebec was a wee bit of an ordeal in that it involved a transfer in Toronto, and then a 45 minute wait for the bus from Montréal, which stopped downtown Montréal for another hour before finally going to Quebec. I successfully managed to get ... read more

Day 91..... We were welcomed across the Canadian boarder (without being interrogated for a change!) into New Brunswick. Our first stop was Fundy National Park, famous for the world's largest tides! As the tourist season had come to an end, it felt as though we had the whole park to ourselves. We made the most of the remaining sunshine and kept up with our walking, until Martin spotted a rather 'lonely' looking golf course! As 'pitch n' putt' is more Angela's cup of tea, she played the role of caddy (don't get too used to that Martin, we were on holiday!). Continuing our journey East, we headed towards remote Prince Edward Island. We entered the island via the very long Conferedation Bridge, spanning 13km across the Northumberland Strait. We were the only people staying at our ... read more

I'm back in Montreal after a two days excursion to Quebec City which is three hours by train from Montreal. Unfortunately the excursion didn't turn out to be as nice as I had hoped for. There was nothing wrong with Quebec City, quite the opposite actually, it's one of the nicest, oldest and cosiest cities in North America, the problem was the weather which was cold (only 6-8 degrees), windy, grey and rainy. And as if that wasn't enough, the evening before I left Montreal I felt I was about to get a cold, which I also got the following day, and cold and windy weather is definitely not optimal if you have a cold (as was indeed the case in Quebec City). Anyway, Quebec City was nice enough and I did spent some time walking ... read more
