Ich habe gerade den neuen Internetauftritt der Moose Travel Network Ltd. bewundert. Erster Eindruck: ansprechender als die vorherige Version, jedoch noch zu wenige Inhalte und Informationen. (Viele Seiten sind noch mit dem Hinweis "Under Construction" ausgestattet.)

Moose Travel Tourguide vor seinem Bus

Moose Travel betreibt ein Busnetz speziell fuer Rucksackreisende in Kanada. Die Busse (mit jeweils ca. 20 Plaetzen) fahren festgelegte Strecken 2-3x die Woche ab. Man bucht eine solche Strecke, kann an den einzelnen Stationen jedoch einen beliebig langen Aufenthalt einlegen.

Ich bin mit Moose im vergangenen Jahr unterwegs gewesen und kann dieses Unternehmen jedem Kanada-Reisenden empfehlen. Die Busfahrer bzw. Tourguides waren sehr nett und aufgeschlossen. Es wurden regelmaessig Stopps eingelgt, an Supermaerkten und Sehenswuerdigkeiten. Man wurde bequem von Jugendherberge zu Jugendherberge transportiert. Die Mitreisenden waren alle im Alter von 20-30 Jahren und haben natuerlich auch erheblich zu der guten Stimmung im Bus beigetragen!

My friend April from Canada

Interesting shot - by accident - of my friend April from Canada. I really enjoyed meeting her in real life after knowing each other for several years by email.

Toronto Eaton Centre

Wow,.. let's go shopping!

CN Tower, Toronto

Toronto's CN Tower, according to it's official website, is at 553 meters the world's tallest building.

Toronto Skyline

No doubt: Toronto is probably one of the most fascinating cities I've ever been to. I could fill pages with reasons, but this town's multicultural mix of friendly people beats them all. It's a great feeling, being surrounded by people from all over the world. And most of them are easy-going, ready for a nice small talk about this and that. Oh yes, I really miss this town!

I visit some Toronto photobloggers regulary. For more impressions of this city, give them a try: Daily dose of imagery is my most favourite blog, followed by Ground Glass and Photojunkie.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

I have to admit... very impressive!

An even more colourful view.

Kyoko and me, enjoying the wonderful view of algonquin

I met this japanese girl Kyoko in the Maynooth hostel and we took the same bus back to Toronto. We stopped for lunch in Algonquin, and enjoyed the beautiful view of nature.

From Yorick's diary:

Mt. Tremblant, Quebec, Canada

Maynooth, Ontario, Canada

I find adventure everywhere,
and friends with whom I'd like to share.
This is my stop along the way.
Don't really know how long I'll stay.
Stop over. The world is my friend.
Stop over along the road without end.
Traveling around from town to town.
Sometimes I think I'll settle down.
But I know I'd hunger to be free.
Rovin' is the only life for me.
A-driftin'. The world is my friend.
I'm travelin' along the road without end.

By the way, I could go crazy for all this lomo here and there. As a result, here is a lomolized version of the above image. It has been processed with The Gimp and the Photo:Lomo script. Another Lomo: Yesterday's road with the truck

a road in canada

Looks like we're comin' into town.
Seems like this train is slowin' down.
Can't help but wonder what's in store.
Could be I've been here once before.
A-driftin'. The world is my friend.
I'm travlin' along the road without end.
Ridin' these rails town to town.
Sometimes I think I'll settle down.
But I know I'd hunger to be free.
Rovin's the only life for me.
A-driftin'. The world is my friend.
I'm travlin' along the road without end.

a road in canada

There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Down the road. That's where I'll always be.
Oh, every stop I make, I make a new friend.
Can't stay for long. Just turn around, and I'm gone again.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
So, if you want to join me for awhile,
just grab your hat, and we'll travel light. That's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.
