Go to Halifax!! That'll be a nice drive, try and go via as many places as possible...I like Hopewell Rocks in the Bay of Fundy (New Brunswick) & Prince Edward Island as well, if you can go off the route a bit. The bridge over is free, but then you'd have to pay for a ferry or the bridge back. We drove over from New Brunswick then took the ferry to Nova Scotia, so you could claim it's kind of on the way
Haha I like what your instructor told you...definitely a good thing, not being able to fall properly actually put me off skiing. I couldn't stop and couldn't fall over to stop either (like I did when i was learning snowboarding)
So I've stayed with snowboarding instead. It's great you were thinking of coming to Vancouver Island in April, you should come! Ski season doesn't finish here until April 22nd
Whatever you do, don't bring a car over though. I was wanting to go over to Vancouver in a few weeks to go skiing at one of the mountains by the city, but the ferry cost is insane. $160 for a return, for two passengers with car!! I'm never going to leave this island haha.
Think my police cert is FINALLY going to be sent off this week for my visa. Hooray! I'm going to change my British drivers license for a British Columbia one tomorrow, and that'll be my last proof of address needed for the application. Can't believe they're going to physically take away my British license to do so though! I'll just have to claim it back when I return to the UK in a few years....
Sorry to hear about your medical troubles
Sorted now though? Yes, I'm a bit scared of going to the doctors here too. I was going to register for BC Medical Care (as you're meant to if you're a resident...that includes working holiday-ers) but then it said I needed to show that I've got a contract for 6 months work in BC. I haven't, and so technically I can't register. Caused a few problems with my boyfriend, since he's Canadian and had to register, and declare that he does not have a common law partner! Dodgy since I'm applying for my next visa with him listed as common law...hmm. I'm in a weird grey area! It's expensive anyway though ($80 a month or something), so maybe I'm glad!
