Canada was the first country I visited on my World Tour. I flew in from Australia on 21st April, and spent a few days with my friend Ross in Vancouver. I then boarded the excellent 'Silver and Blue' train which took me up to Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. From Jasper I headed down to Lake Louise to do some skiing, but ended up in hospital in Banff instead! After a few days R&R with my friend Christine in Calgary, I got back on the train and headed across this vast country to Toronto. I spent a weekend with my friend Sandy in Kitchener before checking out Niagara Falls. I then headed up to the Atlantic coast, via Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec and Halifax before getting the ferry across to the USA on 19th May.
