Experiences in Canada Pt. 1

This is the first in a short series of posts about our holiday in British Columbia, the western-most Canadian Province. I will write most of the series when I get home, mainly because of the cross-network data costs here in Canada. I'll be up-dating my facebook status each time I post a new episode.

Just three more days before we head for home, and we'll be sorry to go. Throughout this holiday we experienced cities, small towns, wilderness and even a mountain-top or two; we walked, cycled and kayaked, and came across bald eagles, whales, seals and black bears. Not bad considering we hadn't before really considered Canada as a place we particularly wanted to visit on holiday. We are both so very glad we came.

As usual on our holidays we went from place to place, to get as broad an experience as possible; our route taking us from Vancouver to Whistler and back, to Vancouver Island for Victoria and Ucluelet, then back to the mainland for Powell River, and finally (in a few days from now) to Vancouver again for the flight home.

In later posts I will go into detail about the places we've been, the things we've done, and what we've seen. I'll also be writing about my impressions of the country and people over in this corner of the great North American continent.

I'm going to end this introduction here, because two-thumb typing this on my mobile's keypad is painfully slow; but look out for the next installment, which I'll announce in my facebook status, if that's your thing.
