View more photos of Harrison Lake here Canadians don’t get a long summer but from what I’ve observed when it does arrive they take full advantage. Unlike Australia which crowds around the ocean, Canadians head for the favourite lake. I’m in the privileged position of being as good as a de facto Canadian. The Low […] We have started a bad habit of leaving something behind when we pack up and move on to the next stop. Sarah stumbled across a brilliant plan this morning when I made her a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast which we totally forgot about and left behind. The idea is that we “accidentally” forget […] On arrival in Vancouver the headlines said boldly “Bacon brother killed”. It seems a branch of the Bacon family took a wrong turn sometime ago in Canada and are famous for being gang members. The Bacon brothers have had a price on their head for sometime.

This makes it an excellent place to travel as everyone and everything is just…nice. There are exceptions to this. When we got a surly bus driver I wanted to tug his walrus moustache […] There are three things I like about writing during my travels: It focuses your mind on the interesting little things that happen throughout the day as potential grist to be mentally ground up and written about. You get a record of everything you’ve done and all those small moments you would otherwise forget. Writing […] It doesn’t take long for the scars of international plane travel to be ripped asunder once again. The repressed memories resurface the moment you glimpse the economy seats you will be futilely attempting to sleep in overnight (or overday if you’re going back in time over the date line). The Air Pacific flight was […] |
