So On Thursday I made my way to Toronto bus station for a day trip to Niagara falls with Coach Canada (Stagecoach). This was uneventful until we actually arrived where sadly unlike at Iguazu and the Terracotta Warriors they didn’t explain where to go when we got off the public bus – even though they [...]

So after leaving the Royal Ontario museum I had a pizza for supper followed by watching the movie 9 a bit later. The next day I wasn’t feeling 100% so I had a lie in before heading out to see some more tourist attractions. First I headed to Casa Loma which is Spanish for house [...]

For starters the advertising isn’t true. Most Torontians don’t in fact appear almost as cold as Coors Beer. That said I was highlighted of this fact when I got on the public bus from the airport which wasn’t exactly a great first impression of the city. Anyhow after catching the express bus and then the [...]

On Sunday I headed over to Quebec city on a coach tour. The journey there was uneventful. When we arrived in Quebec we went on a walking tour with a local guide which was OK and he gave out some good information but he also couldn’t stop talking about the shopping opportunites which apparently only [...]

I flew into Montreal on Tuesday afternoon before making my way downtown to my hostel. My journey downtown was uneventful and I got left at the bus station which is conveniently located over the main metro station Berri Uqam. There I got my weeks metro pass and headed to my hostel. The Montréal metro is [...]

This September I’ve taken a couple of weeks off to do some more travelling – this time to visit Nova Scotia in Canada which in the original Latin means “New Scotland” (credit to them for not directly stealing one of our place names and at least appending New to the beginning :p). Anyhow unlike Chelsea [...]

I’m off to Canada on holiday in a couple of weeks, so I’ll be making some more blog posts while I’m over there. Enjoy.

I’m now working in IT which is mostly good fun so I don’t have much time for blogging anymore. I’m also learning a lot of new technologies too which is interesting. In fact the only reason I have time now is that I’m heading up to Manchester by train to meet up with a good [...]

I’ve got some smart cards left over for Tokyo, Singapore and Shanghai and the latter two even have some credit on them so if you’re going to any of those cities and would like a smartcard then drop me an email. Note that the one for Tokyo is less useful as if you dont have [...]

I’ve uploaded the final set of photos from the last part of my trip and named them over the past few days. You can view these on my photo page.
