Our last stop. Canada, Ottawa!

Now we are sitting at the airport after 3 days in Canada and our journey ended her.

First we landed in Ottawa, Canada’s capital. If you don’t know where Canada is, then I can tell you, that it is limit to the USA. Canada is a big country that has the world’s nest biggest area, after Russia. Canada is also the world’s northernmost country. The weather was a little bit colder there, than in Jamaica. But in Jamaica it was very hot, so it was comfortable to come to a country where the heat doesn’t knock you out. We had planned this trip very well, so we arrived to Canada on their national day, 1.july. We were looking forward to see how they celebrated the national day. We also had tickets to Celine Dion concert, so that was a beautiful ending on our trip. It was nice to see all the people in Ottawa walking around in the city. I guess everyone was outdoor, because it was almost impossible to walk in the street without being smashed like a sandwich between the crowed. So I feel a little bit bad if it was like that all over the country, with 33.500 000 inhabitants. It was nice to hear the people talking, because some of them talked French and some talked English. So you had to be concentrating when you were going to have a conversation. We had got an order from our mothers before we started our journey. We had to buy 3 glasses with Maple syrup before we traveled back to Norway. To be honest it wasn’t so hard. It was small shops all around in the city with Maple syrup. We had no idea about what Maple syrup was before we were in Canada. The Maple syrup is made out from the sap of some maple trees. Because the trees stores sugar in their roots before the winter and the sap can be tapped and concentrated when the spring comes. So we both bought three bottles.

At the evening we went to Celine Dion concert, it was a magical experience. The mood was just incredible, but that isn’t so hard to understand when it was Celine Dion that stood on the stage. As it had been earlier, there was A LOT of people there. It felt like all the 822 600 that lives in Ottawa was on that concert. But we didn’t mind that at all. It was just a feeling that will follow me forever. The next day, we was just walking around in the city and shopping. And we ended up at the Museum of Nature. The building looked like a castle from the outside, so we thought that this was something we couldn’t miss. At the museum we saw an exhibit of all the world as well as Canada’s mammals, birds and plants evolution, and the Viola MacMillan Mineral Gallery exhibits a collection of minerals that are in the world class. That was a surprising experience. After that we just relaxed and packed our suitcases.

So know we are sitting at the airport in Ottawa and thinking back on the incredible journey we have experienced together. We are both agreeing about the fact that we must repeat this again in the future.

Love from me!
