Begrudgingly we rose at 6.30am and stumbled downstairs for breakfast before our 7.30 bus to Halong Bay. The bus arrived on time, much to my surprise and took us to the booking office where we were shepherded onto another bus (why cant they do things simply out here?). The bus ride was pretty cramped, bumpy and generally uncomfortable, so we were happy to stop...

We planned that we would start our tour of central Canada in Ottawa, visit...
