The final leg of my journey was visiting Rob, Jen, Elliot and Arianwen in Waterloo. Had a lovely relaxing few days with the Smiths who were brilliant in making me so welcome even though they had literally moved in their new house about two days beforehand!!

I got into my parent mode spending lots of time with the kids and had loads of fun (will have to think seriously about having my own before I am 40!! Any takers??). Had a day out at Niagra falls, a great walk with Rob through one of the gorges, picked pumpkins with Elliot for Halloween, visited the local livestock market (!??) and also managed to fit in a top night out at one of the local bars (Rob you need more practice at drinking...no one should get that bad a hangover!!).

If you read this Rob, Jen, I just want to thank you again for making it a great end to my travels. It was lovely seeing you in your new life and I hope to do it again in the not too distant future. Cheers guys!!
