Myself and Kay took a mammoth 5 hours to get to Victoria, one a train, bus, ferry and another bus. When we got off the bus it also didn't help that we went one block the other way and had to back track on ourselves with our 'heavy load' 18k each on our back in the blazing sun.We got to the hostel and Krista told us she was less than 10 minutes away. When she arrived we got more than a few odd looks as we jumped on her and she backed away mummering "no touchy"Afte...

So yesterday I arrived in Vancouver and the fabulous Kay Barrett surprised me at the airport! We headed back to her hostel, she introduced me to her crew, I managed a few hours before the jet lag and the lack of sleep hit and I hit the sack. Today we have just spent the day chilling out and trying to find some essentials for me.

So we had a fairly long journey to Mont Tremblant and when we arrived at the hostel we all jumped in the lake for a very refreshing swim. That night we all just had a chilled out night- styill managed half a bottle of wine on my 'night off the booze'

Travelling to Quebec we were fairly rough- needing the stops to refuel. On the way we went to the Montmorency Waterfalls (higher than Niagara they say!) and then we headed to Quebec city. We did a quick walk along the city wall and then headed totally free, yes free, Cirque du Soleil show! It was AMAZING!!! On Thursday 18th we spent the day wandering around Viuex Quebec (the old city) we took it easy all day, just wandering around and had a few beer o'clocks! ...
