Pinay-German Blogger Visited Vancouver, Canada

It seems that my internet connection has been acting weird since two weeks ago. We are actually planning to change our internet provider but everyone is just busy with a  lot of things right now. I hope we can take care of it before the end of the month.

Anyway, I am just sharing some images from our  trip to Vancouver, Canada. It happened almost three months ago.  I and my  friend from Seattle, Washington  drove  there one weekend. It took us  over three hours to reach Vancouver considering the traffic, the line at the border security control and the finding of our hotel. I admired my friend for  her courage in driving there. Imagine we did not use any  navigator but still we did able to find our destination.

There are a lot of unforgettable  experiences we had there and I just wish that I had more time to share all of it. For now, just enjoy watching these snapshots I took during our visit last September 2012.

Visit to Vancouver, Canada

I had a wonderful time visiting the city of  Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Before anything else, I would like to thank my dear friend Ate Thelma  and family for everything especially for touring me around and for the accommodation. You are such  a great host.

Vancouver is around three hours drive from where she live near Seattle, Washington. She is truly a courageous woman driving  to this Canadian City. It was only a two-day visit in Vancouver but we did saw a lot of sights in this city. One of my wishes came true especially in going up to Vancouver Look-up.

We went first to Stanley Park  and an hour sightseeing is not really enough to see everything in this area. After that, we went to the downtown part, went up to Vancouver, Look-up, Chinatown, Gastown, Canada Place and other  sights of Vancouver.

The Vancouver Look-up Tower. You can also see the sign that you are entering the historic town of Gastown. We were also there.

Vancouver is frequently ranked as one of the "best cities to live in" and is certainly a beautiful destination to visit.

At the Canada Place. You can find a lot of tourist roaming around in this area.

Vancouver is a coastal seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is well known for its majestic natural beauty, as it is nestled between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

5 Best Snowmobile Destinations in Canada

Introduction

The whole of Canada experiences a white winter every year. Therefore a winter vacation in Canada is a great idea if you genuinely enjoy the snow. And indeed, snow mobiles have increased in popularity over the last 90 years. In this article we discuss where the 5 best places in Canada are to enjoy a snowmobile vacation.

Five best Destinations

Haliburton Forest

Haliburton Forest is a privately owned forest in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario, about 270km northeast of Toronto. Haliburton Forest operates the only privately owned snowmobiling enterprise in the world. Here you will discover 60,000 acres (240 km) of forest wilderness, and dozens of lakes and ponds. Welcoming shelter cabins containing stoves and firewood are also situated along the trail.

ClubRed Grey Bruce

ClubRed Grey Bruce is geographically situated in Ontario stretching from Owen Sound in Durham to Beaver Valley. Grey Bruce is kept in good condition thanks to the work of volunteers. It possesses over one and a half thousand miles of trails… and best time to enjoy driving snow mobiles through these trails is between December and March.

White n Wild Adventures

White n Wild Adventures is situated in the Rocky Mountains… just west of Yoho National Park and relatively close to Alberta. White n Wild Adventures ensure that those going snow mobiling are equipped with quality winter gear, a highly qualified guide and a new skidoo. The advantage of the ‘guided’ aspect of the drive is that you are guaranteed a visually stunning experience. This is because the guides ensure that you drive your snow mobile in view of the beautiful mountain tops. At certain times of the year there is even the opportunity to take the Starlight ride and see the Northern Lights. (Aurora Borealis).

Quebec- Authentic

Quebec-Authentic covers a vast area between Montréal and Québec City.
Quebec-Authentic has a proud reputation for being a perfect place for snowmobiling. Indeed it is called ‘snowmobile country’.
Quebec-Authentic is a vast area with huge mountains, forest and lakes that have frozen over.
Again, the season for enjoying driving snow-mobiles here tends to be between December and March.

Maximage Adventure

Maximage Adventure has been offering snow mobile related packages since 1987. They claim to have returning happy customers year in, year out. Safety is a priority for Maximage Adventures and therefore guides (who are equipped with first aid kits and first aid knowledge) go out with the snow mobile driver. The guides also have phone contact with their base. As for the leisure aspect, those expert guides also know the most visually fantastic regions to show the snow mobile driver, whether they be Quebec, Mauricie or Lac-Saint-Jean or elsewhere.

Conclusion

All-Inclusive Packages are a popular way to service the cost of any planned vacation to Canada. And most will accept credit cards hence a credit card application in Canada for an All-Inclusive Package is an option available to the wannabe snow-mobile driver.
