Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

Hello and Goodbye

We returned to Ottawa on Tuesday evening and moved into our new apartment. We’re staying in a hotel/apartment and are renting it weekly so we can leave at any time. I went back to work on Wednesday while Sarah entertained her parents with a drive out to Omega park and lunch out with Sarah’s great aunt.

On Friday night Sarah’s parents treated us to a lovely dinner at Eighteen restaurant, one of our favourite restaurants in Ottawa. We had an early night so Sarah’s dad and I could get up early to watch England’s opening World Cup match at the pub. Not a great atmosphere here in Canada as not many people are interested in the World Cup and because of the time difference to Germany the matches start early in the morning. We had a big screen TV to ourselves. Sarah’s parents flew home on Saturday evening. It was sad to see them go, but we know it will not be long before we see them again.

On Sunday we went to the cinema to watch The Break-up. It was ok.
