After a five hour Greyhound bus ride from Toronto we arrived in Ottawa. The backpackers we are staying in is small and funky. The rooms all have continents painted on the doors - we're staying in "Australia" but the flies haven't bothered us so far. The hostel also has a huge, slow ginger cat. Sylvia thinks all the cats here are big and slow - I'm inclined to agree, and I wonder if they need to be to survive the winter?
It is a bit chilly here but not too cold to go running in t-shirt and shorts (and get funny looks from the locals). There is still heaps of ice on the Ottawa and Rideau rivers in places though. This picture is looking across the Ottawa River towards the Houses of Parliament.
I've also included a photo of a friend Sylvia made in Niagara Falls. His name is Sergeant Murray Moose.

Impressive, a photo of a Canadian Mounty and a moose in one go. Very efficient guys!
