First day findings

Another 30 minutes till breakfast starts so i will share some more info with you. Landed at Calgary and fought with Shifty Thrifty, you know all about that. In our short little time here we have learnt to drive the Canadian way and not hit or been it by anything, managed to cross roads on foot without being hit by anything and even managed to buy stuff. First thing was a map, that was easy out of the local Petro, then we went to Tim Hortons to sample wraps, donuts and coffee, WOW Tim Hortons are fantastic, you might want to be careful with the donuts though, when you go in i would suggest starting with a simple donut without coverings and practice on that, or watch how the locals eat them. We went straight for the chocolate covered and things got a little messy.

Another place i would recomend is Wendy's, its a burger restaurant similar to MacDonalds except a million times better (and the patties are square???) they taste absolutely fantastic, the pattie actually tasted of beef and the relish was great.

I have heared some people say grocery shopping is more expensive over here, well we had a look in The Real Canadian Superstore and i would say its the same or a little cheaper, there are a lot of no name brands and i suppose its the same as in UK, some things are eatable, sometings arnt. Familiar brands like Weetabix, HP and Kellogs are expensive but when you look at exchange rates and the import export costs then that is to be expected.

Anyway its breakfast time now so here goes a new day and i will post a few pics tonight.
