Bye Bye Stratford : And Canada :(

Us and some of our billets outside St Michaels, just before we got on the Yellow Rocket to go to Toronto Airport ...

But on the way out of town .... we stopped by The O'Reilly Household!
What a treat! Here we are on the front porch after having eaten Mrs O'R's awesome raisin cookies, with Jack, Shannon, Mr and Mrs O'R.

5 hour flight from Toronto (which arrived all too quickly) to Vancouver; departing 4:10pm arriving 7pm LOL

Sunset at Vancouver ... from the airport terminal.
Remember this from our first night in Canada?


Waiting for the plane .... last chance to stock up on Tim Horton's Donuts

29 hours of travelling from Stratford to Otumoetai .... it wasn't as bad as all that though.
We were pretty much high on the memories of the trip (and Tim Horton's donuts*)
* Maple dip - with cream [or 'creme'] inside was voted joint Best Donut with Sour Cream Glaze

  1. And were there maple cream doughnut flavour jelly beans?? Enquiring minds want to know.
    Thanks for depositing said children home safe and sound. Thea, Jordan and Sam looked forlorn at the side of the road outside college this morning - as if Canada had never happened and they were still waiting with their luggage.....
    the BARR chocolate is DIVINE.....more more ! And please Mrs O'Reilly - do we get to find out what your fab raisin cookie recipe is ??
