I'm really excited! I will be walking 8000km Across Canada in a few days! The day was really busy, I'm really tired after a long night full of work and emails. I didn`t sleep at night at all, how could I sleep? The morning was really stressful, Iwoke up late, like 9am and I had to do last things in Montreal, go to the post office, visit some stores, clean the room, talk with my good friend from Bulgaria :-) (If you read it thank you so much for your motivation!). Really no time for anything. I was at 11:30 at the airport, no people at all, there are more flights in the evening. Last chats, last infos for my sponsors and boarding!

Now I`m in the plane to Vancouver, it`s really unstable, everything is shaking! The worst flight ever, on domestic flight there is no free food so I FEEL ANGRY!!! ou all remember, when I`m hungry don`t disturb me. Canada is huge, I just looked at the map, I`m somewere above The Great Lakes in Ontario, above Sudbury. You know how it is, it takes like 6h from Montreal to Victoria but it will take like 5 months by foot!!!! CRAZY!!! My other feelings about Canada? It has enormous amount of lakes, I look through the window and I see thousands. Forests and lakes everywhere, no civilisation at all.

Now something about my plans. The arrival in Victoria is scheduled at 7:25pm. I am in contact with Polish family that will pick me up from the airport and give a shelter for a night, it is really good to be with nice people. Other people also offered me an accommodation, that was really nice, I will stay few days in Victoria, I need to do shopping, prepare my equipment and buy everything that was now allowed on board like items to start fire. I hope on Thursday at the latest I will start walking, but I also have a second option. I will start walking tomorrow (Tue, Jan 20th) just to officialy start my walk accros Canada, than I will go arround Victoria, visit everything interesting and I may spend a night with the same family. They live around 25km by foot from the starting point - Clover Point. I will decide this evening.

2:39pm, one more thing about landscapes from my window - there is nothing better than highways! Just imagine the straight line through Canadian wilderness! Straight for ...600 kilometers. You know, there is no need to make turns. In about 2 hours I will fly over Rocky Mountains, that would be the first time for me to see them entirely! I will write more in Vancouver, now I need to sllep and relax after a long night, but not for long. I have a lot of work. My finances look poor right now, i made a big investment and people do not really help me by sponsoring kilometers, I meant Poles do not help me, Canadians do my journey amazing

At 3:45pm I landed in Vancouver, the flight was terrible for me, too many shakes, I felt like a "good martini". At the airport I met 2 polish men that were waiting to meet me, they sponsored a dinner, offered a stay in Vancouver, really nice! I heve an opportunity to sleep on a boat. No more infos about it, next thing was the flight to Victoria, night flight, I can tell you, Vancouver Islands look amazing, so much light surrounded by dark!

7:35 - with small delay I landed in Victoria, I meet great Polish family that were expecting me. At one of my photos probably you saw a sign "8000km Across Canada", really good way to recognize each other! We went home and.....after such a long flight could I expect more? Dinner, POLISH BEER ZYWIEC, really nice! We were talking and after 11pm I tried to work a little bit to update you with some infos but I was too tired to think, and that`s it! My first day in Victoria!
