29th April - Day 1 Canadian adventure

Front of house. Curiously the front door is at the side.
Here we are finally in the suburbs of Victoria after 24 hours in transit yesterday. All flights went smoothly with the odd bouts of turbulence. We negotiated all airports without too much stress and finally arrived in Victoria airport at 3.30am Irish time. We are 8 hours behind here so please be aware of that if anyone is texting as I leave my phone on at night. Jim enjoyed the views over Greenland with its mountain and glaciers. I was too busy watching The Muppets, The Help, We bought a Zoo and Mr. Popper's Penguins. I really enjoyed the penguins. The flight from Calgary to Victoria was spectacular for the first half as we flew over the Rockies in totally clear sky. Then the clouds arrived blotting out everything and causing quite a rocky descent - no pun intended! we were met at the airport by a friend of Nancy's, Lynn, and transported here. we lost little time getting to bed where Jim snored blissfully as I tossed and turned obviously past my sleep. Not to worry, there will be plenty time for sleep. We are all unpacked now in our new home and ready to set off exploring.

Decking at back. Jim behind the camera and Fionnuala at the door.
