Oh dear, another slow start to the day for us but that was because we were all up until midnight playing a board game. We headed out for a dim sum breakfast which was a very filling start to the day. Back to Manor to pack up the bags, put Coco in the car and … More Halifax to Wolfville – 23rd September 2018

Forgot to mention in yesterday’s post about our accomodation in Mahone Bay. Whilst it was perfectly satisfactory it is never reassuring to see a For Sale sign out the front of the residence. The proprietor, whilst polite, seemed to have reached his used by date and I want out of here😃. This morning we went … More Lunenburg back to Halifax – 22nd September 2018

Today started out with us bidding a fond farewell to A as we headed out the door on our southerly trip along the east coast of Nova Scotia to Mahone Bay with stops on the way. P and E had well beaten us out the door as they were off to music appreciation lessons before … More Halifax and South to Mahone Bay – 21st September 2018

Much better start today. We were on the road by 9.00am and after the short ferry ride it was time to find our way to the Citadel. The bridge in the background looks like the Golden Gate Bridge but is actually the Angus J. Macdonald bridge. On our crossing to the city of Halifax we … More More Halifax – Ooops, got me dates incorrect Now 20th September 2018

OK, so the trip has commenced. Not much to report on yesterday which was a travel day except you start to understand just how big Canada is. The flight which was direct, took four hours and ten minutes going east which means we had the winds behind us. There is a three hour time difference … More Finally Made it East – 20th September 2018

Maritimes Here We Come – 17th September 2018 Only one day before we head off over to the eastern coast of Canada to the Maritimes. The Maritimes consists of the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Some people tend to lump in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador but this province … More Maritimes Here We Come and a Little History

Well it was truly monumental in the end and what has made us realize this is to how tired and how much we are looking forward to going home. Planning for our next trips will involve taking some of our learnt experiences from the last 145 days. Maybe less time away; maybe more realistic challenges … More September 2017 – Final Blog of the 2017 Twelve Phase Odyssey

Our last full day in England and our final day of the European Odyssey 2017!!!!! We are ready to go home now, but not to become couch potatoes! The end of Phase 12 came to a conclusion with a breakfast of porridge and toast on Ange De L’Eau and laughter and sadness around the morning … More Wednesday 20th September – Irthlingborough to Gatwick Airport

What a nice day to share together as the sun was out and it was considerably warmer than what it has been. The River Nene is not a fast flowing river by any means and the nice thing is that it is extremely clear. You can see well down into the depths and watch the … More Tuesday 19th September – River Nene to Irthlingborough

Up bright and early to put the finishing touches on Ange De L’Eau. We found some great bunting but unfortunately the wind kept blowing them about and couldn’t get a decent photo of it. We popped into Morrisons for some final shopping and to pick up a birthday cake!! We motored over to the marina … More Monday 18th September – Northampton onto River Nene
