Canada - Ottawa to Montreal - 1st June to 5th JuneWell after busy weekend with the party and the tree links Monday was ultimately only going to be a day of rest. I caught up on my blog and uploaded all the photos while catching up with Rachel and Will. I guess the best part was that it was raining for much of the day so it was a perfect time to sit back and relax.

After a morning of kayaking in the sun the afternoon promised much but delivered little. As the call came from the captain to depart The Flyer we headed down to the one fishing boat that was waiting for us, perfect on any normal day bu...
