Still stranded internet-less, but I took some plane pictures, and wanted to give you a tour of the Calgary-Vancouver journey (all photos clickable for bigger).

Canada is big. Like, BIG big. So you can see a lot of different terrain, and weather, within a just an hour’s flight.

I started off here:

Hella flat, no green to be seen. The temperature was about 0C, so fairly warm for the time of year.

Then we flew over these:

They are quite possibly the opposite of flat. And a bit green, under the white. Somehow when I’m looking at the mountains from above like this, I can’t believe they’re real.

Then, we get to the destination, the wonderful warm, green place I’ve been waiting for, that will welcome me back with that fresh ocean smell:

I suppose I did get standard Vancouver weather. It wasn’t really raining, that was just mist. And I could smell the ocean, which was wonderful. But it was all very grey. That’s just what Vancouver is though, I suppose.

At least until the sun sets, and you get this:

I love Canada.

And if you’re reading this, love, I love you and miss you like mad, and can’t wait to come home to the flat, flat brownness of Alberta so I can cuddle you and not let go for ages.
