Climb every mountain....

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 | By mlisaho | Views [563]

Went to see The Sound Of Music on my last night in Toronto. It was really good and a great end to my travels in this part of canada. The east has been good, but I can't say I'm not happy to leave it. It's mostly been nothing but cities and I'm kind of ... Read more >

While snowboarding in Whistler, Canada I fell on a groomed run dislocating my shoulder. I boarded down to the base of the mountain and caught a Taxi ride to the local hospital where x-rays were taken and my shoulder was relocated. How World Nomads ... Read more >

Algonquin and Madawaska

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 | By mlisaho | Views [559]

The Moose base camp in Madawaska was basically a large house with rooms stuffed with bunk beds. Funnily enough, it was a comfortable and relaxing stay. The living area had loungy couches and they have a reasonable selection of games, which were good fun.... Read more >

The Pointe - Esprit's base camp was a fantastic place to just chill out and lounge. After the excitement of rafting, it was nice to lay about and enjoy the amazing sunset. The river was still enough that you could see the reflection of the clouds on the ... Read more >

Mont Tremblant

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 | By mlisaho | Views [607]

The Mont Tremblant ski village was, well, cute. It's like the set of a Dr. Seuss film with it's variously coloured tall buildings built on an incline, ski lifts and oversized furniture (admittedly I only saw one very large deck chair). But I imagine it's ... Read more >

The first leg: Banff to Vancouver

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 | By marcinoman | Views [1173] | Comments [9]

The flight from Muscat to Calgary was long, 19 hours with a 3 hour stopover at Frankfurt, but not too tiring.   Disappointingly, there were not too many movies on offer.   The only good one that I hadn’t seen was The Reader , ... Read more >
