The nations capital. Right up on the border with Quebec. Guess that is why! Next time I want to experience a bit more of the French influence, or whatever the PC term is. Parliament hill is very Londonesque. They even have their own tower in a Big Ben stylee (yes, Big Ben is the bell, not the tower, but I am trying to relate to the tourists!). We were lucky enough to have a personal guide round the buildings – friend of a friend of a friend – this enabled us to skip lines of camera clenching tour groups. Parliament in Canada seems very similar to the UK, with two houses, one elected one there by some other reason! All seems very nice, but then, that’s politics… One of the highlights for the Big Yun was the drive through Blueberry Valley both ways – wild blueberries galore – at wildly low prices! (nice link).
