So 8 hours and three flights later, we arrived in Vancouver from Montreal. The flight was Montreal to Calgary, Calgary to Kelowna, Kelowna to Vancouver... but it was cheap so no complaints! We took the skytrain from the airport to downtown vancouver where we found our hostel we had booked for 3 nights. We were pretty jetlagged as we woke up at 5am and went back 2 time zones (now 7 hours behind UK) so we actually landed at 12.30 in the afternoon. We decided to...

We have been in the Province of Quebec now for 1 week, and it's been great! We have been spoiled at Max and Chantal's house, we chilled out on Friday, but ventured into Montreal on Saturday where we wandered around the old port, saw the Notre Dame Cathedral, visited Chinatown and the Quartier Latin.

When we got to the subway, we couldn't find a ticket machine so we just got on and ended up riding it for free, so we made our ...

So Goa was great, and we got the train to Mumbai with no problems at all. When we arrived, we went to stay in Colaba, as that was really the only place we knew where to go! We stayed in a hotel just behind the Taj Palace - security was pretty high and we had to explain ourselves why we were walking next to the Taj when we were trying to get to our room! We had a fairly uneventful time in Mumbai, we shopped for 2 days and then the last 2 days we went to a posh ...
