Back home

Heading home - just a 5 min break at Banff

I made it back to Vancouver. It's weird to be home all by myself after spending all the time in hostels .

On my last (sleepless) bus trip, I was thinking about the question "what did you like most"? It's very hard to say - there are lots of great places, cities, people.

For nature, I liked Nova Scotia (Cape Breton Island) the best, or Niagara Falls? or...? I have been sleeping most through the prairies :( I wanna go back and drive across someday.

For cities..? Toronto? Ottawa? Calgary? I was positively surprised by all of them, they have what Vancouver is missing - nice neighborhoods with interesting pubs (with big patios or even in pedestrian zones!), live music bars, ... wouldn't it be nice to have a pedestrian zone along the beach at English Bay with outdoor pubs!?

I learned a few things about Canada (Bluenose, Arcadians...), I only had Sushi once in a month! and I haven't seen anyone wearing Lululemon on the street (that's really very Vancouver!).

The time definitely passed too fast and I already have the next travel plans in my mind. Going North (Yukon...), going further East (I missed out on Newfoundland, have to go back for that!)... and many other places.

I have no idea how many people were reading my blog (I uploaded some more pictures for Winnipeg and Calgary) - but that's it I guess. I will upload more pictures on my Flickr site

Back to "normal life" :(
