Sat on the train as I write this… on our way to Edmonton. Choo Choo! So far it’s been almost 22 hours. We set off yesterday at 21:30 Central Time and it’s now 17:56 Mountain Time. (Not sure of the abbreviations, maybe CST/MST?) The train is currently stopped. This seems to happen a lot. I …

Fortunately for us, my mate Stef back in Ottawa used to live here. So we were armed with a …

After some faffing with our plastic bag of coins the bus driver just ushered us on without paying, woohoo freebie! …
