Welcome to the first day of this travelogue. Every day is on a separate page.

To see a map of the part of Canada the page is about, click on the 'MAP' picture that is displayed on the upper left of every page.

In the right corner of every page there are small navigation buttons, which can be used to go one day back, one day further or to go to the start page.

For our travel companions there is a separate page, Group photos, with photos of the both tour groups (East and West), our tour guide, and photos of the Farewell Dinners.

Our journey begins with a KLM flight from Amsterdam to Toronto. It's an eight hour flight this time. We arrive in the afternoon with beautiful weather and take the shuttle bus to our hotel: The Delta Chelsea. This is a nice hotel with a bar, fitness room, swimming pool and jacuzzi on the top floor, the 27th floor.

We stay here for two nights. Tomorrow the whole day we will be in Toronto.
