Immediately we booked our tickets and embarked for Halifax, Nova Scotia. In this episode, we discover the town and get ready for the arrival of the car: paperwork, sim cards, planning our route for those first few weeks in Canada and above all, picking up Albatross at the port.

      Yes, the detail of your successful import and getting the vehicle insurance via Seguro is valuable. We hear so much more about the negative stories so you being winners is great to see. I’ll work out how to send you a ‘meal voucher’ so you can afford something better than mac n cheese. Ghastly!

    There is an interesting goodwill story I would like to share from that explosion you talked about at Halifax harbor during WW1. After the explosion, hundreds of nurses and doctors from Boston volunteered their services and sailed into Halifax with plenty of medical and food supplies to take care of the victims, many of whom were burned from the fires. The explosion occurred around Christmas. Every Christmas since, Nova Scotia sends a Christmas tree to Boston as a gift of thanks. The tradition continues to this day even though the cost of trucking a tree has become quite expensive.

Your adventures, routes, priorities and plans are more like Tim & Kelsey of Dirt Sunrise - who you do follow I see, I did enjoy their Pan-Am journey. I do wonder if you can keep the pace you have set yourself and be done with the America's in a year - don't miss too much by rushing! And good to see your subs shooting up.
