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
The next morning, after a day exploring and subsequently falling in love with Quebec (as well as developing a bit of a crush for autumn with its beautiful fall foliage), we packed up and headed out to explore even more of the province of Quebec, beyond its beautiful capital city. Our main destination for the … Continue Reading
In retrospect, we really should have visited Edmonton a lot sooner. Lloyd has a friend who lives in the city and my cousin (like the ones you spend your childhood rolling in the mud with – not the kind you’re surprised to find out is actually your cousin), lives in Edmonton. Yet for some reason, … Continue Reading
Alberta is one incredible province to explore in Canada. It’s the kind of place that’s filled with places to see and a shed-load of gorgeous spots, like; Banff, Jasper and cities like Edmonton and Calgary. Now, with all these incredible spots, it can be difficult to actually nail down a firm plan, especially when exploring … Continue Reading
Back in colourful St Johns (after all our afternoon of wildlife in Newfoundland and Labrador), we dropped off the car at the hotel and proceed to traipse through St John’s on foot. That’s the beauty of cities like St John’s, it’s a proper city but it’s so walkable that it feels a lot more intimate … Continue Reading
Alberta is one of Canada’s most gorgeous provinces that’s perfect for a winter or summer jaunt. And with so many beautiful things to do in Alberta, it’s an area you should definitely think of visiting as soon as possible. From the tiny little villages, stunning lakes, gorgeous cities to huge swathes of powdery snow – it’s … Continue Reading
The city of Halifax is gorgeous to visit; and in lots of ways is the gateway to exploring Nova Scotia’s beautiful places. That being said, it’s also got a charm and history that’s totally worth spending a few days exploring. This is especially true with all the best things to do in Halifax that are … Continue Reading
I arrived in Vancouver not really knowing what to expect. We were in Seattle for a little over a week and Lloyd figured it would make sense to take a train up the coast to Vancouver. I’d never been to Canada prior so it seemed like such a great idea – especially the train ride … Continue Reading
Back in Toronto after a few fantastic and very relaxed days in Niagara-on-the-Lake, we checked into the Delta Hotel, which it turns out has one of the best views in Toronto. The Delta is right next to the CN Tower and if you get the change, it’s totally worth bagging yourself access to the Executive … Continue Reading
You’ve probably guessed that Canada is one of my favourite countries. After exploring the gorgeous spots in Alberta (like those iconic Ice Castles) and delving into west coast city life in Vancouver, I just knew I needed to see every inch of Canada. Though, let’s start with baby steps, eh? After all, it’s the second … Continue Reading
Perched on the island of Newfoundland, St. John’s is one of the best Atlantic coast cities to visit. It’s got that perfect mix of history, access to the great outdoors and that warm Canadian charm. Not only that, there are heaps of the very best things to do in St. John’s dotted all across (and … Continue Reading
Look, there’s no hiding the fact that my love for Canada runs deep; so much so that I swear my veins run with maple syrup! Obviously, I’ve got a proper soft-spot for cities like; Vancouver and Toronto, but there’s so much more to Canada than just the cities. Being the second-largest country in the world, … Continue Reading
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
Vancouver is a delicious city, and I say that literally! There are so many mouth-watering places to eat, so many places to explore and a shed load of the best bakeries in Vancouver to chow-down at. Now, there’s one thing that I always pride myself on and that’s knowing my puddings, pastries and pain au chocolat! … Continue Reading
