• Cross the International date line

    20 de junho de 2025, Canadá ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    HELLO CANADA 🇨🇦
    Overnight, on the flight we crossed the International date line.
    This means I left at 8pm Nz time on 20th June
    But now gone back to 2pm on 20th June....CANADA time.

    It also means, that when in NZI reached the next day before the UK ...
    I think the UK is now on the next day before me .
    No wonder i failed my travel agency exams.!🤣...its too hard to keep track of all this
    I was asked about my emergency passport at Canadian immigration. Their system is really fiddly ....answer question and have photo on a machine ,give the receipt to a border force person, face further questions
    Border force was heaving with people and chaotic
    I got a taxi to the hotel ,which seemed a long way away
    I'd not accounted for the date line thing ...so booked from 21st June .I decided to come anyway and see if there was any chance of a room...I was in luck but have a room with shared / jack and jill style bathroom ....its a bit wierd using it as u press a red button once inside ,that locks the door to your room and the other persons room I took my phone in with me expecting to get stuck
    The rooms might be the YWCA but they are ok.Theyre clean, provide towels toiletries, hairdryer and fridge...but no kettle. There's one in the communal kitchen diner .
    There's a lot of people staying here who have come for a dragon boat racing festival this weekend I'll definitely have a look at that
    I wandered out in search of milk for a brew and called into a souvenir shop by chance. The owner is originally from Wolverhampton, but now has Canadian twang.
    After a lovely meal of duck and chips, I returned to my room to update my penguins
    I'd deliberately held off ,not knowing which way things were going to go
