Hi all, so Friday we started the Moose tour, so far I've seen zero Moose, our driver Nick picked us up from our Hostel at 8am and I was feeling slightly ropey after the Pub Crawl the night before (see facebook for some pics) the PB & J bagel was helping the quash the sick feels I was having from the hangover though.

So I got chatting to Nick on the way to the bus and he asked where I was from, I said Manchester, he said okay cool so what do they call people from Manchester are they like Manchurians?.... Nick turned out to be a laugh and along the way managed to set off with the back doors open and also placed a cup of coffee above the drivers seat and then drove off spilling the contents onto Liam and Amanda who were sat behind him. (It's ok it was cold coffee)

On the way to Montreal we stopped at Thousand Island (home to the famous sauce) at Lake Ontario for a boat trip which was pretty cool, thankfully I'd beat the hangover by then, half the lake is in the US and half in Canada. Many of the islands have houses on them as this being one of the Great Lakes the islands are pretty damn big. There are more than 1000 islands and the number changes each year. For it to constitute an island it has to have at least 2 trees on it, go figure?!

Arrived in Montreal at about 5pm tired and hungry so after a quick shower we all went out for some nice food and more drinks plus a few games of pool.

Not been able to upload any photos yet but I will as soon as I can. Ciao for now!
