Last Day :-(

Posted on October 29, 2011March 19, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We had a bit of a lie-in this morning before getting up, packing up all our stuff and going down to the Inn at the Forks dining room for an enormous Canadian breakfast.  I really felt as though we wouldn’t want anything to eat for the rest of the day!  Trevor and I have often…

We got up this morning raring to go for our second day on the tundra, and our final day in Churchill, as later on tonight we would be flying back to Winnipeg. After the usual hearty breakfast, we went back to Room 10 to pack up all our stuff and check out of the room….

As expected, we were awake bright and early – very early in fact as we were still on UK time.  So I was out of bed before 6.00am and had the coffee percolator on whilst taking a long, hot shower. We had the morning to spend in Winnipeg as we were due to fly up…

Welcome to Winnipeg

Posted on October 24, 2011March 18, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Once again it was time to depart on yet another long-awaited holiday – not a cruise this time for a change! 🙂  Instead, we were flying out to Canada; ultimately to Churchill, Manitoba for an expedition onto the subarctic tundra in search of polar bears. Today would prove to be a long day, consisting of…
