My Last or 4th Week in Canada
My last weekend, in Canada, consists of a trip to Montreal, which was not as successful, includes waking up late morning on Sunday, having nice khichdi for lunch and some shopping. Yep, Montreal was really a memorable one, one which i will never forget. It was something unusual. We had to make wise use of my last weekend. So we booked the car. After lots of discussion, we decided to go to Montreal, other plan wud have been the Algonquin Park, which was also 2 hrs drive, but exhaustive. Anyway we searched on the internet for the places to visit in Montreal. All was well set. Except for the driving routes, we although had the driving directions. And then it was raining on Saturday. Raining throught the day and we started early morning to Airport, picked up our car and all set thru. After that almost half of the day we were in the car, searching for the correct road, as all the roads were written in French.. Anyway we ended up having a nice home lunch and just roaming arnd in Montreal in ...
My Third Weeend in Canada
That weekend, was not as exciting as others. My collegues went to Office on Saturday, and so it was a bore long day at home, i got up late on Sat, had a nice tub bath and had a supple brunch. Went to Govind's house, since his wife too was alone, and then it was a bore day. Later in the evening after everyone came back, we decided to go to Dow's lake, in Carlington, in Ottawa. After reaching there, it was already dark, and we took the local train for the first time, in Canada. The lake looked very good, and we went for padding boat in 2 boats. And i peddled a lot, after so long. It was nice excercise after very long. We didnt have much time, so we went for just 40min of boating and came back. They made us wear, those life jackets which were too heavy to wear, but i wore for the sake of safety as i dont know swimming :-) Well we came back, couldnt have patience to cook, so went to an Indian restaurant and had a nice vegetable biriyani after long with paneer curry and mixed veg. O...
My second weekend in Canada - Niagara Falls & CN tower
My second weekend in Canada, started from Friday evening approx 4:00pm, when we rented the car, went to recieve Govind's wife(who was coming from India alone) in Greyhound bus stop.. and got disappointed when Govind and wife didnt arrive in time. Came back to home without them , waited at home. And finally when they arrived at around 9:00pm, had a supple dinner, and went to sleep late. Got up early in morning, 4:30am, got ready for the travel. Of course, Govind's wife joined too.. and thanks to them. Didnt get diverted frm the main route, passed Torronto, went straight to Niagara, checked into the hotel, and then started again after some time for Marineland. Lunch was in Marineland only. There was good "Dolphin and Seal" show to steal ur heart. But i liked Seal show much. Then was the "Free Fall and the Roller Coaster rides" which I took with pleasure. And a lot roaming aroung the park etc. After that started back to Hotel, took some rest and again started ...
1000 Islands Kingston, Canada
I have visited 1000 islands in Kingston, Ontario, Canada during my first weekend in Canada. We were a group of 8batchelors and 1 family. And the trip was nice. We started early in the morning from 15, Woodridge Cresent, taking out 2 cars, one drove by Lakshmi,( now plannning to get residence of Canada) and another by Pratik, our collegue. We reached near the island cruise at 10:30 taking 2 short breaks, got freshed up, took some photos, had a nice lunch in a Thai restaurant - rice and some vegetable curry .. And then started off with our 3 hour cruise. Start was very good, but later got bored after 1 hr and 30 min. Came down from the deck, listened to the musical show, which went very good.. Started back to home at around 7:30 .. Returned the car, got down in the downtown, and watched the Parliament night show. It was amazing, and it was so simple the technology and lots of information they have put on the slides. Really a good event. Canadian govt put these light and sound shows on th...
Having Fun with friends in Canada, Ottawa
So Life, is more enjoyable now.. And an example of it is the Niagara Falls that I am going to visit tomorrow.. Canadian view. Well last week has been fun too.. Having lots of time after office and till the daylight, and helping me and my roommate are the shops that opens till 9:00pm. Enough time to go arnd places and visit the shops and tell others abt the best sale option :-) And no weekend is without fun. Last week on Saturday, took a ship cruise to the 1000 Islands from Kingston. A 3hrs cruise to bore us, but then there was nice orchestra on the ship that kept us engaged. First time by car in Canada, driven by a collegue who doesnt yet have a canadian driving license.. But it was fun.. driving at a speed of say 100-140km/h. And it wont even feel like 60km/hr. Nice highways with green fields both side.. Good management of the lane decipline and exit from highway system.. Well in a way I am liking the place.. Just waiting someone to ask me to stay here forever. The temperature present...
