Project “1 Year On” Halifax

I had made it to the most eastern point of my journey; Halifax. 7000km on road and rail across Canada had brought me here. Having just watched the movie 'Into the Wild' my little adventure seemed to pale into insignificance. But all I know is that I finally got the chance to experienced Canada and in doing so had the time of my life. Plus with more of Nova Scotia still to come I was in a good spot. "I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head." -Christopher McCandless

Perhaps one day soon ill get the chance to experience something so profound. But for now I will appreciate the warmth and comfort of a hostel bed.

Thank you

Project “1 Year On” Québec City

Caught the train up from Montreal to Quebec City alongside an amazing sunset. Arrived in the city at night time with the Summer Festival sadly coming to an end. There was a great atmosphere about with kids playing in the streets, teens drinking under the starry nights sky while the adults mingled in the bars and restaurants. Enchanting lights guided me through the back alleys as I wandered around aimlessly enjoying the warm summer evening. The next 2 days were just as chilled. Caught the ferry across to Lévis to watch the pink sunset, strolled around the citadel and drank a few beers. Travelling can be a tough gig at times.

Also as a random fact Quebec actually recorded no murders in 2007!

Cheers
