Sunday 30th of May 2010. Czech players won gold in hockey world championship. And I was leaving Canada. After incredible 5 months, having experienced a lot, met many great friends and discovered another part of the world.
The whole day I spent with packing, saying goodbye to my flatmates and to the city and in the evening with my 60kg of luggages I boarded onto LOT aircraft on the flight from Toronto through Warsaw to Vienna (unfortunately I can't recommend to use LOT), arriving to Vienna on Monday 31st later afternoon. Because there wasn't any connection to Prague, I'd planned to stay in Vienna one night (couchsurfing :). Tuesday afternoon I took Student Agency bus to Prague.
--- so that's the end of the story; see you Canada hopefully in not so distant future! ---

New Brunswick
It was the last week of May and my very last week to be in Canada. I was enjoying my Cambridge new home, but yet I had a plan where to spend the last days: New Brunswick, a province in the east from Québec and with an access to Atlantic through Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Saint Lawrence. I made some research and found those facts:
To go through Quebec province to the north of NB, hitchhike along St. John river to Fredericton, spend 2 nights there and then continue to Saint John. There is a scenic old highway, going in the valley along the river. From St John I'd fly back to Toronto.
- A truly bilingual province, in the north prevail French, in the south English
- People are very friendly
- Capital is Fredericton, with 50ths ppl
- The whole NB has only 750ths people
- Air distance North-South is 320km
- The best place (together with Nova Scotia) for hitchhiking in Canada
