Reflections - size

Some reflections on our trip, after a couple of weeks being back in the real world...


Canada is a really big place, did I mention that? It's really, really big. I mean, you know it's big, but it really is even bigger than you think it is possible to be...

We covered a lot of distance:
Miles driven from Halifax to Quebec City: 1,379

Total train distance, Quebec City to Montreal (156 miles) to Toronto  (338 miles) to Niagara (81 miles) to Toronto (81 miles) to Winnipeg (248 + 984): 1,888 miles

Miles driven Winnipeg to Grand Marais and back again: 135 miles

Flight distance Winnipeg to Calgary: 745 miles

Exploring the Rocky Mountains:
Calgary to RHS (179 miles), RHC to Banff and back (174 miles), RHS to TJC (287 miles), TJC to Little Fort (157 miles), Little Fort to Lillooet (166 miles), Lillooet to Sechelt (178 miles), Sechelt to Nanoose Bay (142 miles), Nanoose Bay to Vancouver airport (162 miles): 1,445 miles (including ferries distance)

Ferries distance:
Horseshoe Bay to Langdale (10 Nmiles), Earl's Cove to Saltery Bay (9.5 Nmiles), Powell River to Comox (17 Nmiles), Swartz bay to Tsawwaasen (24 Nmiles):  60.5 nautical miles

Total holiday miles: 5,592, not including flights to and from Canada. 

Book end flight distances 

Heathrow to Halifax: 2,849 miles
Vancouver to Calgary: 427 miles

Sub total: 7,635 miles

Total of everything 13,227 miles

That's a long old way.

A full day in Prague

Blimey, did we sleep well? Littlun and I got up and went for a little run to explore a bit more and visit the rather excellent-looking baker...
