So we've decided to sample the air out in the East coast of Canada.
A couple of days ago we picked up our Kiwi friends Annie and Chris from Toronto airport and gave them the whirlwind tour of Toronto - including a whirlwind ride around the roller coasters at Canada's Wonderland.

Then after a brief glimpse of the CN Tower, they disappeard off on the train out to Ottawa.
A couple of days later we all met up again in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
We picked up a rental car and headed north west toward Truro, Moncton and our destination of Fredericton, but not without taking the scenic route and stopping off to see the flowerpot rocks at Hopewell cape.
So far we've been very kindly looked after by the parents of my Toronto workmate, who have showed us that New Brunswick hospitality.
Fredericton isn't a big town, we compare it in size to Taupo, maybe a little larger.
It's built straddling a wide river and is very picturesque.
