So this is it then! My first post on my travels, and its kind of a strange feeling. Great to be off and going again, exciting at thinking of everything I'm hoping to see and do, but sad to be leaving everyone back home and all the memories. But these things have to be done I guess.
Although it nearly didn't happen at all! Thanks to some slightly over-cautious officials at Cardiff airport, who insisted on knowing all my travel plans and the contents of my bank balance, and EVEN called the Canadian High Commission in London before I could check-in. Now I know I'm important... but really this is just too much! ;-)
Anyway, got into Toronto ontime and made it too the hostel before heading out with a couple of guys for my first Canadian beer in quite a while, but very welcome it was. So all in it was gone 5am UK time before I got to bed, and then yesterday was a nice 5hr coach trip up from Toronto to Ottawa where I'm staying with family here.
I'd forgotten just how hectic the Ottawa traffic is, but arriving in rush hour certainly reminds you quickly.
So there we go, the first of many posts I suspect. Not that interesting, but I'm alive and well and being very well looked after by my family here, and its great to see them again. So please feel free to leave some comments or drop me an email, I love hear from you all.
Until next time,
See ya later.
