Hello! I am not really in the mood to write so I will try and keep it brief. Yesterday was a really miserable wet and windy day in Quebec... not ideal for sightseeing. Instead I went to the aquarium with my Welsh room mate Emma to see the polar bears... yes I cheated a bit but it was the only way I'd see polar bears in Canada!! Unfortunately, half of the aquarium is based outside anyway so we didn't manage to avoid the wind and rain. After the aquarium, we wen...

Hello! I am now thinking that maybe Quebec is my favourite place in Canada... not Banff. Hmm it's a close call... Quebec might not have a shop dedicated to cows, but it does have a shop dedicated to Christmas :-D Last night I went along to watch the live jazz in Fou Bar ( Crazy bar) the music was really good.

Good evening! I am FINALLY in Quebec City! It has been a looong day! I left Calgary at 7am this morning and it is now gone 9pm... I forget how big this country is!

I chos...

Good evening! Well I have a lot to update you all on and not so much time to write about it all as I am due to go for a few drinks :-) So the last time I wrote I said I had had a day of nothing! I ended up going out that evening and chatted away to a kiwi who was over here looking for work but quickly gave up after realising how much competition there is this season in Canada! Turns out he used to live in Nuneham Courtney and his sister's at university in Glasg...
