Day 29 - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Day 29 – 7th July 2005 -5:00 GMT
Got woken up at 8am with a banging on the door, being told check the news London has been bombed. Spent the next 2 hours in front of the TV and on the BBC website trying to make sense of what had happened with various reports coming in on US television. E-mailed friends and family to make sure everyone we knew was OK, and luckily everyone was. We spent the rest of the morning looking around the parliament buildings and downtown Ottawa which is a beautiful place, We also visited The Byward Market and then had a guided tour of the Canadian Mint which was fascinating. Early Evening I went across the river into the province of Quebec and visited the local casino, unfortunately I lost for once. We all then went out to an Indian restaurant for wine and a buffet.
