The Curious Adventures of the Cat in the Camper Van
Our motorhome travelling adventures around the world with a cat called Jigsaw
No, the Kootenay’s are not some new celebrity family but an area in British Columbia’s 'Interior' as they call it, which makes it sound a tad dull, but it really isn’t. It’s a different but spectacular area of Canada that was a lot of fun. The Kootenay's is a region full of lakes, mountains and… Continue reading The Kootenay’s
Jasper was a gem of a place. Our first ride out on the bikes presented us with a black bear, first on the shoreline and then swimming in the river, what luck! We know we have enough in life, but when it comes to nature we're not sure we'll ever have enough of it! We… Continue reading The Rockies Road South
We decided to take the circuitous route which involved lots of either North, South or West in the grid road system of Saskatchewan, rather than the direct highway across route, which had been described as monotonous. We discovered long straight roads, seemingly going to end in nowheresville, glorious crop fields and gorgeous vast blue skies… Continue reading Sassy Saskatchewan
We thought we’d covered a lot of ground until, just outside Winnipeg, we discovered we were only half way across! Known as The Centre of Canada, we assume in a straight line West East, we had to stop for a selfie and a couple of others photos that would be better for this. Fun place,… Continue reading Meeting in the Middle
Continuing the journey through the vast Pukaskwa area, meandering past Lake Superior, the road snakes through the wilderness, all the tiny lakes, untouched coniferous forests and the glimpses of Superior’s glistening waters through the dense trees, uninhabited in the main, no Tim Hortons for a wifi coffee, nothing. We arrived at Marathon, after what seemed… Continue reading Getting Shop Envy
Québec City is not a football team, to rival Halifax Wanderers but the capital of the province of Québec, no surprises there eh?! Staying at a campsite on the opposite side of the St Lawrence river we were able to easily cross from Lévis on the ferry, as it’s one of the narrowest stretches of… Continue reading Quebec City
Kouchibouguac National Park, affectionately named Kouchi Bouchi by us, is a drive North along New Brunswick’s coastline. This area is very reflective of Acadian culture and we endeavoured to find out more, if not now, on our return this way. Camping in the woods again it was still raining but the solitude and birdsong above… Continue reading Kouchi Bouchi Levis
So the story goes, King Edward was none too pleased with his youngest son, gallivanting all over the English Shires like a dandy, rather than knuckling down to a career on the family farm known as Duchy. So he gave him a newly discovered island with a great climate and fertile soil, named it after… Continue reading Prince Edward of the Spud
We sat in 'The Kitchen' to watch the game, sadly Halifax Wanderers FC lost 3-0 to the mighty York United, from Toronto. It was a noisy and fun affair however, getting down with the locals as the kids say, thanks to our amazing Airbnb hosts Greg and Joanie who invited us along. I should say… Continue reading Lets Go Wanderers!
Can you believe that this is blog 74? No, nor can we to be honest! That pesky pandemic thwarted our plans to do a long haul trip so we pottered around Europe, biding our time until finally we could start making it a reality. And here we are, in gorgeous Canada! Adopting the "How do… Continue reading How do you eat an elephant?
