The Canadian Rockies

Well one would say that the Himalayas are
Higher and that the water in NZ are greener
But beside that they are OK (a bit more expansive though)

Being less hard on the Rockies
They are very beautiful mountains
And it is easy to understand why they are called like
That. It looks like a massive rock.
There are glaciers everywhere and here and there
You can see an Elk from less than 5 meters.
We are still looking for Moose and beavers
(Preferably a beaver riding a moose into the sunset ;)
But I guess we gonna leave Canada without seeing one

In this trip we only did day hikes, and there is a
Place to do some backpacking here but it will have to wait for another time

TORONTO

After driving for 3 weeks along
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec
We entered Ontario and with a quick drive got to Toronto
To meet Tami’s uncle and his family.

It was great meeting up after a long time.
And Nir finally got to meet the Toronto gang.

It was great to be among family again,
Plus we ate good and been spoiled –
it’s going to be hard to get used back to the tent.

EAST COAST – USA AND CANADA
We left New York with our yellow cruiser
and went to New England (Vermont New Hampshire Maine)
than crossed to Canada.
The most resembling thing on those areas
was the houses with a boat, RV and SUV
in their parking. – AMERICA (CANADA same same)
we enjoyed beautiful sunsets and manage to see some whales
from the beach drove long distances and slept mainly in our tent.
Tasted self made maple syrup and Nir’s cooking – well not all is good.
