Photos from Canada

It's taken me a long time to sort through my photos from last year's holiday, but here's another installment:

• Eastern Canada (Halifax to Toronto)
  
• On the train from Toronto to Jasper
  
• In the Canadian Rockies
  

I started the Canadian part of the trip in Halifax on the Atlantic coast, and passed through Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto. Mostly this was day-train hops, though Halifax to Quebec City is a nice single-night sleeper train. From Toronto I went on a day tour that took in Niagara Falls -- it is as full of tourists as you might expect but worth seeing anyway.

Toronto to Jasper is the main event of this rail holiday -- three nights on the same train. Most of the photos in that album are taken from train windows. The section on the approach into Jasper is amazingly beautiful. After a couple of weeks of hectic "see stuff, move on to next place" it was very relaxing to know I had nothing to do except sit on the train, eat the pretty good restaurant car food, and gaze out of the window. Highly recommended if you like scenic train journeys.

Album three is a day's worth of photos from Jasper National Park. I have more of these in the pile of photos I haven't yet sorted through...
