Sarah has visited Canada a few times but had never been to Toronto before. People advised her that it was just another big city like Sydney. It’s not really like Sydney, but I can see their point. There is nothing that really grabs you about Toronto. It seems like a decent place to live, […] View all of our Winnipeg photos here Winnipeg is lumped in the same basket as Saskatoon. A flat prairie town in the middle of the not unattractive farming country known as the central Canadian void. Winnipeg is a long way from any other big Canadian city. It’s a 15 hour drive to Calgary and a […] View all our photos of Saskatoon here The prairies get a bad wrap from other Canadians. The general consensus is that they are flat and boring, although a lot have never actually been to the middle of their country. Those that have tell of days of monotonous driving across not featureless but drearily similar landscape […] View all our Calgary photos here Calgary is famous for its beef. We had such a good steak sandwich here. In Australia they use shitty offcuts for a steak sandwich that are grizzly and tough, hoping that smothering it in onions and BBQ sauce will distract from the gristle and toughness of the meat. In […] For more mountain photos head to these galleries: Sicamous, Sicamous to Banff, Banff and Columbia Icefields tour This will be a simile-laden post because it’s about The Rockies, and the only way to even attempt to convey their grandness is through comparison to something else. Even the copious photos we have taken don’t fully convey […] For more photos look at these sets: The drive from Harrison Lake to Kamloops, Kamloops, Okanagan Lake and Harrison Lake When I think of Canadian landscapes I picture huge snow covered mountains, vast lakes and never-ending pine trees. Imagine my surprise to find myself in a Canadian desert. Kamloops is a town of 100,000 or […] 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. We had a hell of a time renting […] |
