Well hello from Canada!!
We are currently in Toronto, started out by headed up the New England Coast through Connecticut and Maine where we stopped for lunch. Nat and I made a salad in the grocery store in an effort to be good!
Before we knew it we were at the boarder where we did some duty free shopping and had our passports checked - they pulled a few of the dodge looking characters aside for more questioning before they let them through, fortunately I was not one of them!!
We then continued through to Quebec City, Canada’s French speaking province. Nat and I slept a lot along the way but when I was awake I saw how beautiful the scenery was, it was as I had expected, bubbling rivers with nice houses set at the base of hills covered in pine trees with lush green grass everywhere, Dad would love it here!! It truly is beautiful and I can’t wait to see more!! We took heaps of photos.
I saw my first moose then a couple more on the way in on the bus.
We arrived at our hotel and got ready for dinner. We went to a French restaurant with lovely food
- grilled fish with raspberry sauce, veggies and boiled rice - it was excellent!! It’s easy to tell the French influence on the type of food and the portion sizes!! Sat with some new people and a couple of them seem really nice. Managed to get some Canadian money out of the ATM after standing in a line of about 10 people and I was the only one that could get money out. Turns out that any cards that have a Visa attached to a savings account only work in the Royal Bank of Canada ATM’s!! Lucky I had a separate Visa and Savings card!!
Nat and I decided not to go out tonight, so we headed back to our room. We’ve been backing them up for a month now and think that we’ve earned the rest!!
