If there's one thing that we'll bring back from our trip to Canadialand, it's a new-found fascination with ice hockey. We do have it back home but it's nowhere near as huge as over here. Go Canucks go! Anyway. This evening we decided to head to a bar for a little bit before tonight's game (in Vancouver we could head to a bar *for* a game, but I doubt they'd be showing it here :D) and after a bit of wandering around we came across an "irish" pub and h...

The CN Tower is 1,815 feet tall. We got up to the highest point the general public can access which is 1,465 feet high, and blimey Toronto is huge. Flat too, so you can see for miles and miles and miles. Today is a perfect day to gaze out across the Greater Toronto area. There isn't a cloud in the sky (apart from some man-made skywriting ones telling us about the wonders of Claritin) and even though it can be a little breezy it's rather glorious. Toronto i...

After an early start of 4am (ow) we checked out of our hotel and waved goodbye to Vancouver before boarding a flight to Toronto.

There are some things out of town that seem interesting, we just need to figure out how to get ...

Today is our last day in British Columbia. Sniff sniff. To make sure that we've seen plenty of mountains, rivers, huge bits of countryside and trees June and Mike took us north through Squamish to various beauty spots. The photo is from the river leading into Brandywine Falls. There was still a good bit of snow around, and some rather hairy "Oh noes I'm up to my knees" moments, but it was all very pretty. We also went to the "Eagle Run" at ...

No photos from today I'm afraid (too rainy to get the camera out) so instead have a snapshot of Stanley the squirrel who followed us around by the aquarium the other day. So yes, today has been a bit rainy. Not letting a piddly thing like pouring rain get in our way, we walked to the Museum of Vancouver after breakfast. Unfortunately it was closed, so instead we had a nice lunch in a little cafe/deli place called Juliet's and wandered back into town. After...
