Part 1. Prince Edward Island to Vancouver. Driving in our new car.


We have left the Eastern states of the USA and have arrived in Canada, Toronto. This begins our drive accross Canada

Banf. It was snowing and very cold so we had to take a ski lodge. Great price too, it included a hot buffet breakfast. We cooked a buffalo spaghetti and had some red wine as it snowed all night.


The hot breakfast, would you like some more coffee sir? Tried to image the snow falling softly outside but it didnt work well.




This is Edward after several steep hills from Liloeet to Pemberton.

His auto transmission started to spew fluid. We had been keeping an eye on the fluid levels as it was leeking from Toronto. These spectacular mountains were too much. Luckily no damage was done by us as we did not run him dry.

Grizzly we think, on the road south of fort vermillion. This fella came all round our car, we were very excited.


Showing off some Canadian Bison.
We bought from a meat shop. Oh yeah were in Banf here.

Typical Drumheller scenery.
We camped here and had a great time.



Everyones favourite dinosaur, Triceratops.

This is real. The whole royal Tyrell museum was very in your face.



Nice campsite on the shore of lake Huron, I think it was another awsome spaghetti bolognaise that night.



The female camper has strong nesting instints.
Thats a queen size fitted sheet there!

This is the Chi Chi mon ferry.
It is very similar to the inter island ferrys NZ.
It took us North from Owen Sound to Manitoulan island. About 2 hours and saved us driving 300k .

Frances best next door neighbour, Rose.
Rose cooking hot dogs at her farm. Owen Sound.
We had a lovley visit.

Kats Deli and Corned Beef Emporium.
These corned beef on rye were a local speciality.


Leaving PEI. This is the Federation Bridge. 13 Kilometres over ocean.



Meet Edward, Complete with paperwork.

PEI was cold. The Harbour behind the MTA was frozen.



We have driven back to Toronto from PEI and have returned to Kats corned Beef Emporium.

This caddie was one we found online from Australia. We drove her around Toronto. What a beast. It was strange to actually see and drive a car we had been watching from Australia.


This is the view as we flew into Toronto International. We drove on this expressway many times. The 401



From the plane we could see Canada was going to be cold. This is the half frozen lake Erie.
