Yes we know there's been a bit of a delay with this instalment so apologies to those that are actually following our blog. However, we have had a good few busy days and have lots to share, so put that kettle on and get comfy... We boarded 'The Canadian' ViaRail train from Toronto and spent three fun filled nights onboard crossing some beautiful terrain on our way to the Rockies - the rocks and trees (and waterrrrr... It's a song... look it up) , the prairies (...

There are a number of different festivals throughout the summer and we arrived during the 'Montr...

Hello again, have you missed us? Just in case you were wondering we've been in Washington DC for a few days. We arrived after what should have been a 4 hour bus ride but due to traffic took 6. We're blaming the late hour of arrival for getting the US Congress building mixed up with The White House... Even the cab driver laughed at us! Our basement room at the Windsor Inn Hotel was unique (no concept of night or day), especially after we read a Trip Advisor r...
