Hi Guys,

This is just a quick one to let you know that I am on my way into Canada now, and currently in Quebec, the city is lovely, very quaint little cobbled streets with lovely ornate buildings, it has a fort arround it and it is very french!

Previously to this from New York we travelled into Vermont, which is amazing the scenery was lovely and the little towns are lovely, although everything is spaced out and the houses are massive! We stopped off at Ben and Jerrys Factory, it was here that it was first made, so we had a tour and a taste! It was really funny seeing how it was made.

The group I am with are great, there are ten of us, 8 girls and 2 boys, all from the UK, which the tour leader, Chris, says is strange that there are no other nationalities! I am sharing a tent with a girl called Ellie who is on a world trip for two years, she has the bug more than me! Getting used to camping again slowly after being back at the hostel, it is very cold of a night, but touch wood it hasnt rained as yet, so am getting my thermals on, I am very attractive!

We have the chance to do loads of activities - handgliding, glacier walking, horseriding, helicopter rides and white water rafting whilst we are here so really looking forward to them.

We are off to Montreal this afternoon for a couple of days before heading into Ontario. It is not letting me upload photos on here so will try again soon.

Love to all, Hel x

Ps. Pete, thank you so much for your generosity - I have picked my tours now so will be doing the four of them!! Love you!!
