DAY 6 ~ Thursday 27th August, 2015

Up early (5.30am) to pack our bags and get ready to head to the airport for our journey to Canada.

First leg, Beijing to Seoul – Korea. Flying Korean Airlines. Awesome plane – heaps of space both in legroom and also cabin size. 2 hour trip and we were sad to see it end.

3.5hrs lay over at Seoul, gave us enough time to make our way from Gimpo International Airport, to Incheon International via the train link. We saw some sights of Korea and couldn't believe the amount of water ways there is there. It is very hilly and the towns and suburbs seem to be built around these tiny little mountains, leaving lots of green space.

Incheon Airport lived up to its name of being one of the largest international airports in the world. The place is enormous and we walked from one end to the other to check in and then back again to get to our gate!

Alas our next Korean Air flight to Vancouver was not the same plane as from Beijing...this was a typical flight – all crammed in and tiny seats and no leg room. At least this trip was only 14 hours!

They came around to serve the meals and I opted for the “Korean” meal – seemed alright at the time. Steve ate no such thing and was happy eating a small bread roll with cheese and ham. Was all good until 6 hours later when my Korean meal was wanting a return – not in a good way.

Anyway – food poisoning had set in and it was not a fun journey to Vancouver.

Poor Steve didn't sleep on the flight that much, so by the time we hit Canada we had been up for close to 30 hours, and me being as sick as I was, was no help in trying to navigate our way out of the airport to the hire car. Steve was awesome driving on the other side of the road and without a GPS or any sort of mobile device, somehow managed to make it within 1km of our B&B.

We settled into our accommodation at Roger & Sally via Air BnB. Lovely home and they made us feel very welcome.

Here are our hosts, with Monty their dog...

Hardly being able to string 2 words together, we made our way up to our room, and we were both sound asleep by 6pm and didn't wake until 9am.
