Its back...

Due to popular demand from my 3 followers I have decided to again reveal the insights into our next adventure.  I didn't want to a first because I was worried that I wouldn't have too much to say - except  I feel sick because we ate too much,  my head hurts because we drank too much and my hands are sore from all the shopping bags I have to carry, but the overwhelming desire from you all to find out how my hair will cope with no hair dryer for 2 weeks and the certainty of another Hodge moment (e.g. Jay leno and lets just duck down to bellagio for an iceream - one hour later wrong direction - you remember the story),  I have decided to jot down my traveling tales.  The carry on luggage is packed, sandshoes are in! but don't be alarmed by the no hair dryer call for curly hair through france as I have my second best friend the hair straightener.  I will try to be funny, I will try to be insightful but most of all I promise not to bore you will tales of great running tracks and the adventures me and my white trench coat get up too.   Au revoir for now.

    Given that this is your second trip with a blog, I'm going to try to become your 4th follower. That way I can make you be my follower when we go to France next year. Consider this a reconnaissance trip - your main purpose is to find shopping destinations, restaurants, best coffee etc for me. That should help you save time by not having to write about non-essentials such as running routes. Hope you're having a ball! xoxo

Love love love Quebec City

We arrived in Quebec City via train on New Year's Eve. We were happy to say goodbye to montreal. Despite our local being the Gaspar tarvern and the food sensational the city is largish and very cold. We knew that we would love Quebec City before we got here as it involved a train trip to reach our destination. We are big fans of train travel. You often leave the middle of the city and arrive in the middle of the city. Taxi rides from airports to the city I often find depressing as you usually don't drive through the nice part of town. The train trip was 3 hours long and you don't have to be there hours before. We were given priority boarding because of the children but we were also scolded for having the children push the large bags!  We arrived in the heart of Quebec City to snow. It fell lightly at first but gathered momentum at great speed. Our hotel in the old town was beautiful and apparently hosting a big party for New Years. We decided not to join them and dined at a...

We arrived at the very top end of the Northern Territory we arrived hot and tired but a cold drink as we sat and watched the water buffalo and wallabies around our clamping experience erased the pain of the journey. John our guide was an absolute pleasure. We ate well and enjoyed an air boat ride in search of crocodiles

Christmas in lake Louise

We have just spent a week in a winter wonderland. We arrived in banff on 20th December and stayed for 3 nights at banff springs fairmont hotel. I have a always been an economy air travel kind of girl and spend the money on the accommodation. Banff springs was like a castle in the snowy mountains. It was big, luxurious but intimate at the same time. Plenty of spaces to have a drink by the fire, enjoy a game of pool (which the kids loved) and a very sizeable gym. The service was outstanding. There were daytime movies (in a proper cinema with popcorn) and the most incredible thing was that the hotel welcomed pets! So it was not uncommon to see a puppy dog walking through the corridors of the hotel with its owners. Banff is known as a party town (ever since Harry Nina worked here it got it's reputation) it's a beautiful small town (about a 10 minute freezing walk from the hotel) it's about 4 blocks by 3 streets long and is just small enough to give it the cute tag. At banff spr...
