TT. My step-daughter did the trip via train across Canada. She really enjoyed it. However I would prefer doing it by car, as I like to drive myself and stop at points of interest along the way. I've been across Canada twice now by road and flown over many times. It really is a beautiful country.

It really is a beautiful country. I have only been to BC and Alberta so far, but I can confirm that, even if it was winter each time.

Deyana we thought the price of the train was just too expensive and we hired a car and like you say you stop when you want to. More independent. Didn't regret it. Canada is a beautiful country we never could get over how clear the water was. St Regis, Mauritius looks a nice holiday spot. Gilpin Lake near Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Beautiful country Heretix. Lake Titicaca, PeruReeds are vital to the way of life of the Uro people that live on Lake Titicaca in Peru. Not only do they construct their beautiful Barcos de Totora (reed boats) out of them, they also live on floating islands that are made out of them. These reed boats have become something of a national icon, and are used to ferry locals and tourists to and from the Pervuian mainland.
