Happy Birthday Jan! Zum seinem 35igsten Geburtstag durfte Jan in einem wunderbar warmen Bett aufwachen. Ist das nicht schön?! Nach einem Frühstück, welches wir uns im Motel gönnten, schauten wir nach unserem Camper.

Die Scheiben waren gefroren! Kein Wunder bei -7 Grad!!! Jan musste leider mit einem Kärtchen die Scheibe kratzen! Das kommt Priska sicher bekannt vor ...

The stories of Quebec City being a piece of Europe located right here in Canada are so true. The buildings, the streets and the shops are intriguing and offer much to explore. We board a free electric shuttle that motors all through old Quebec. We venture ...

We depart mid afternoon to Toronto and catch a delayed connection to Quebec City to arrive very late Thursday evening. Our stay is at a the Hotel Chateau Laurier, a mid range full service hotel adjacent to the Military Armoury. The room is small but the price is just right.

As a joint effort between Marina and I it took us, literally, two minutes to work out that we could wedge the skis in the front passenger footwell, feed them between the front seat backs, and into the corner of the rear of the cab. Putting our luggage into the trunk we clambered in, myself in front, Marina ...

... and spent some quality time with them. Drew and Courtney were working during our stay but we managed a tour of the University of Saskatchewan, where Courtney was working until the end of June and some of the other sites in Saskatoon. Some of the river pictures are from a boat ride on the South Saskatchewan River that runs through the city. Saskatoon is a very impressive place. There are lots of trees and parks in the city. The blue house pictured is Drew's and Courtney's. Gary ...

... am not content with the service I am receiving. She apologized saying she had been very busy and assured me she would do it "tomorrow". June 2. The travel agent finally produced my ticket at about 5pm. Also gave me a whole lot of paper which she told me to take with me then said only a bit of it really needed to go. Tickets are for all around the world Quebec to London, Stockholm, Helsinki, Frankfurt, Athens, back to Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Singapore ...
