A walk in the woods.
The woods smelled of strawberries, but maybe that was just wishful thinking as the season was too late. Maybe it was the ones Daniella had brought with her, we ate some for breakfast, but not poor Mounia as she is allergic. Somehow we had managed to stay up until midnight and didn’t drag ourselves out [...]

Snoring Bears in the wood
The 2 polish girls Andres and I had stayed awake until 4.30am didn’t turn up until the next morning, seems like they had a long night and they crashed right away. I spent an hour rearranging my backpack for the camping trip I had arranged through couchsurfing. We (well it wasn’t just me) were a [...]

Russian food and dancing
Friday night was the fourth irregular couchsurfing Montreal Food Discovery Tour meeting at La Caverne. I was downtown for most of the afternoon wandering around looking for interesting things, I made a 2 minute trip into Payless Shoes to replace my Converse all stars which were literally killing my feet. See shoes, try shoes, [...]

1/2 a Mile high
Thursday was the the day I had to move out my hostel, so I woke up on time and sorted out my stuff a bit better. I also really needed to finish up the tourist things as I was still hoping to get a ride the next day to Montreal, although I hadn’t heard back [...]

Dead day
I got up late, which was half because I was so tired, and half because I spent all night with the terrrible snoring. I had a short wander around town, joined the Mountain Equipment Coop, which is an awsome store and tried to find a day safe backpack. No luck there.
The afternoon was spent trying [...]

Noodles, Drums and bad vibes
We managed to get out the Bates Motel for just after 11am, which was good, I just hope I get my $300 deposit back on my card sooner rather than later, ie not getting it when Im in Montreal. We cruised up to the backpackers but I couldn’t get in until 1pm so we headed [...]
