Of all days for me to have diarrhoea, this morning timing is certainly the worst! Luckily I woke up early and I certainly hope I got everything out before the long bus trip!
We finally tried taking the subway today and I nearly got stuck at the revolving barrier at the gate due to my many bags. The subway is very efficient although Singapore one is much cleaner. However the train was more spacious despite the rush hour work time. The tokens was also very cute and small! I hope I wouldn't mistakenly use it as money as it would be very bu hua suan.
We made it in good time to the bus terminal. However, we were told the wrong bus bay by the staff and by the time we joined the correct queue, the queue was horrendous! However, all was good as there was a second bus which was much newer and nicer!
We passed many beautiful scenery on the bus route but alas I missed much of it as I was catching up on sleep. We stopped at a stop for rest room break and the sandwiches were some of the most humogous ones. The bread was so thick that I could barely fit it into my mouth. Jessica shared a sandwich with me and I am feeling quite full and sleepy yet again.
Finally we reached Ottawa at 3pm! What a long bus ride! We continue a little more we will reach quebac already! We took a taxi to the Ottawa backpackers inn to check in. The place is much nicer than I expected - a house type much like Taiwan Ming su. The 4 of us also got a 4 person room which is gd as it solves the problem of the need to lock our stuff!
After putting our stuff we went out exploring. We went to the byward market which was near by to shop around and eat dinner. We chanced upon many delightful shops that are unique businesses to Ottawa! After that we continued on to Rideau canal to see tulips. Sadly the tulips have began to wilt. Nevertheless the view of the architectural styles of the buildings are still very grand and beautiful!
