Oh Canada Adelaide to Invermere A wise man once told me (thanks Ian D), "Pay the extra fee for an exit row seat…it is worth it" YES, Amen to that, is all I have to say. Leg room and even a sneaky lie on the floor for a short while, along with great friendly service on Air Canada made travelling cattle class, which can never be described as desirable, at least bearable!!

We left Martin's house early in the morning and caught the train to Amsterdam Airport - an event in itself!. The train was full and we had to stand in the doorway until the next stop where Meg and fern moved up the train and found a couple of seats.
