Thoroughly impressed by the Ice Castles of Edmonton, we made our way back to town grab some well-earned lunch at an old school Mexican restaurant called Rostizado. (Edmontonians love Mexican food as it turns out). Rostizado is designed to feel more like dining at a friend’s place, than at a restaurant (right down to the … Continue Reading
The next morning, after a rather hurried breakfast (I got the timings wrong and we just missed breakfast – thankfully the kind folk at the Metterra Hotel rustled something up for us from the kitchen), we headed off to Downton Edmonton to try our hands at something new – segwaying. I tend to be more … Continue Reading
The next day in Edmonton was a truly lazy one and one that comes off the back of a night out in the city. It started with a late breakfast at the hotel (random aside – the Metterra Hotel also has happy hour, before a leisurely stroll through the farmers market in Old Strathcona (partly … Continue Reading
Leaving the Metterra hotel, as we hurried through breakfast, eager to hit the road early, I remembered something we’d missed out on the entire time we stayed there – Happy hour. And no, not the kind of happy hour where the drinks are half-price – it’s the kind where the drinks are free! I suddenly … Continue Reading
One place I really wanted to visit once we arrived in Jasper was to visit and go hiking Maligne Canyon! Thing is, even up to a few days before we left London for Alberta, I’d never even heard of Maligne and its famous canyon. Once I heard about it though, I knew I had to … Continue Reading
When we arrived in Jasper, we’d originally had a whole day set aside for skiing in Marmot Basin. With the change of plans on the first day which saw us explore the amazing Pyramid Island, lake and mountain area, before heading off to the Icefields Parkway instead of Maligne Canyon and hence moving Maligne Canyon … Continue Reading
On our final day in Jasper, we got up nice and early, in huge part to maximise our time at breakfast but mostly due to attempting to squeeze in as much of Jasper as possible before heading back to Edmonton in the afternoon. We started pretty much immediately after breakfast with what was supposed to … Continue Reading
Edmonton was absolutely amazing to visit and one of the coldest places we’ve ever been – which, by the way, is exactly what we were looking for. In winter, you want the snow to stick around (actually, in London, we’d probably even settle for just a bit of snowfall, especially around the Christmas time) and … Continue Reading
Jasper National Park is easily one of the most beautiful parts of Canada we’ve ever visited and it’s reason in itself to want to explore even more of the Canadian Rockies. These jagged gigantic mountains make for stunning scenes – couples with beautiful (sometimes turquoise) calm lakes, gorges and canyon are just some of the reasons … Continue Reading
Arguably one of the most scenic provinces in all of Canada, Alberta is stunning! Not only that, but it’s also home to two of the oldest national parks in the world. This alone makes this province incredible, but there are so many epic and best places in Alberta that are too incredible to miss. There’s … Continue Reading
Canada is an incredible country to explore. From cities like Toronto and Edmonton to gorgeous spots such as Jasper and the rest of Alberta. Canada is as diverse as a country could possibly be, with the best places in British Columbia being some stunning spots you can’t miss. I have a deep and probably overly … Continue Reading
You might have guessed by now that I have a deep and very real love for everything Canadian. It’s beautiful countryside, literally the friendliest people, piles of bacon and one massive space to explore. With, let’s be honest, a heap of the best things to do in Nova Scotia, too. Now, perched on the Atlantic … Continue Reading
Vancouver is one amazing city to visit! It’s one of those incredible places in Canada that has a buzzing city life but is also so close to the dramatic natural spots on the west coast. This is exactly why I wanted to share our itinerary and guide to visiting Vancouver for a week. You see, … Continue Reading
Vancouver is one of my favourites and easily one of the best places in Canada to visit. What makes it even more amazing is the huge array of delicious food and best restaurants In Vancouver, that are dotted all across the city. From authentic Italian, French-inspired and some yummy Canadian classics, there’s always some amazing … Continue Reading
