Second leg to Ottawa

Up early today as we had to be at the airport by 7.00am. A little bit of drama on checking in as two of the bags were a couple of kilo over the 23 kilo allowance even though the total of the four bags was within the 92 kilo allowance so we had to move some of the clothes to the hand luggage. We checked into the Air New Zealand lounge until it was time to board. Premium Economy is the way to go if you cannot afford Business Class, bigger seats and more leg room. Flight was ok but didn't get much sleep. No issues in Vancouver getting my work permit only took about 15 minutes. 

The flight to Ottawa was basic and seemed to go forever after our initial 14 hour flight. We took a cab to the address where we were to pick up our keys only to find out we had to go to another apartment block, not impressed after a long flight and we had let the cab go. Luckily the Sales Manager for Corporate Stays arrived and she took us to the apartment and showed us through it. 

Hungry after the flights we headed downtown to Joeys restaurant and ended up being waited on by a young guy from Perth whose brother lives in Coffs Harbour, he was a wealth of knowledge as it was his  third time working in Canada.
