It’s 5am, the curtains are open and it’s overcast. Through the window is a serene lake and jutting out in to it is a pontoon. The only thing missing was Morning by Greig playing in the background. The peacefulness was…
Day 21 – Victoria to Lake Quinault
Continuing our decadent food theme from the night before we decided to have breakfast in the Empress Lounge in the Fairmont Hotel. Mum decided to skip it and pack her bag, so it was only breakfast for four. We were…
Day 20 – Seattle to Victoria, B.C.

Day 13 – New York
Up and out early at 8.30 am to see the Statue of Liberty since we had pre-bought tickets a few weeks before. Caught the Metro to South Ferry station which was the nicest metro station I saw in New York…
