My last day in Seattle was a rainy affair that broke my umbrella but not my pioneering spirit! I ventured through the ever increasing puddles to pioneer square which is the old historic heart of the city but it is now a rather delapidated and soulless area full of transients and junkies. I then headed to the waterfront and soaked in the sights of the ferries ferrying and the industry being industrious.Getting seriously wet, I decided to head to a dry, warm cafe a...

From Toronto I took the bus to Vancouver. This trip took 3 days and really wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

I managed to befriend 2 crazies, who kept me entertained for 2 days ...

New Continent, new country, New York. Wow, I can not explain the buzz of New York. After being speedily processed through the US customs, I ventured on to the subway system to find my home for the next 7 days. To say that the Subway is confusing is a massive understatement! There is little to no info about the lines etc and no info what so ever about the schedule of trains. Apparently you just wait until the train comes, if it comes at all. Sometimes they can t...
