Well I have been here a week and it is already time to leave. Canada has been interesting, it was a difficult few days when I first arrived. I felt pretty down about the whole travelling thing. As soon as a spoke to my Dad on the phone, Matt and Helen arrived and my suitcase arrived, things instantly started picking up.

We fly to New Zealand tomorrow, I really can’t wait. It is the part of the trip that I am most looking forward to. I’m not sure how much I will be able to use the internet, while I am New Zealand, as the majority of the time, we will be in a campervan. I will update this blog as soon as I can.

Thanks to everybody who has send me messages so far, so good to keep in contact with people from home!

The last few days have been dam good especially in the food department, on monday we got the best burgers ever from a place called Veras, the girl who served me had visited Coventry 6 or 7 times, obviously my first response to this was….why? Last night we had the most amazing chinese, it was so amazingly cheap and we had so so much of it.

For some reason, all Canadians seem to think we are from Oz, which is a bit strange, I think because there are so many Austrialians in the hostel, we are slowly catching the accent, at the moment, I keep going up at the end of sentences, which is never a good thing.

We’re trying to do a podcast of our travels, and we’ve just uploaded the first episode - here it is:

Episode 1 - Vancouver

Yesterday morning has pretty difficult as I was running out of money, clothes as well as this i was running out of patience with BA. I phoned home and found out my Nan had passed away, although this didn’t come as a shock, i was still pretty upset about the whole thing. Luckily yesterday was the day that Matt and Helen arrived in Vancouver, as soon as they arrived things started to look up.

It is very sunny here, which is always good when your mood needs a boost, also one of the main headlines on the news today was ‘dirty fruit’, which made me smile, not sure exactly what was happening in fruit news, I’ll let you know.

Day 2 in Canada and unsurprisingly: still no suitcase. I didn’t do much yesterday apart from wonder round and buy toiletries, the only toothpaste was I could find was spongebob squarepants toothpaste; it tastes amazing: bubblegum flavour. One of my roommates appears to have massive beef with me for no good reason, he doesn’t even speak to me when i come in the room but instead looks at me like I’ve just trodden on his cat or something, at least tonight my room mates are Matt and Helen. I plan to steal Matt’s clothes, thank god he is tall!

Hello everyone, i arrived safely from England yesterday and it was all running smoothly until I went to get my luggage. I didn’t think much too much to terminal 5, it looks ok, my luggage obviously loves it as it is still there. Sometimes when your tired things get exsaserbated and that is how i think things are at the moments, i’m in such a crappy mood due to much of what i own is still in terminal 5, i have just been wondering around much of the date just trying to kill time until Matt and Helen arrive tomorrow.

I have managed to find Nerds the sweets which you no longer get in England, so swings and roundabouts, hopefully tomorrow’s entry will be more cheery!
