Distances

Australia's a big place, the US of A is bigger, but Canada takes the cake by a mile. I didn't realise that it's the second largest country in the world, that is, until I got on a bus yesterday.

I've just come over from Victoria to Banff. Victoria's just off the west coast on an island, and Banff is inland near Calgary. That's maybe 1/6 of the way across Canada; I started travelling at 8am yesterday, and barring a wait in Vancouver I didn't stop until 9am today. And I'm not even close to be halfway! It's a good thing I'm flying out of Calgary and not Toronto!

Random fact: Canada's twice the size of EUROPE.
