Our trip through BC with our eight friends came to an end last week. It was such a great part of our trip and very special. The two of us have now left Canada and travelled through Seattle and are now in Portland. We took the Amtrak train which was comfortable and the view was gorgeous. 

Seattle had some stormy weather whilst we were there which made it a little challenging. Highlights for us included stumbling on a street fair, eating at an incredible vegetarian Thai restaurant in Capitol Hill, having our best coffee yet at Victrola Coffee Roasters and meeting some really friendly people in the hostel. 

   
    
    
    
    
 
We arrived in Portland two days ago. So far we have really enjoyed the city and the hostel we are staying in. 
Yesterday, we visited Escapism in Portland. The objective of the hour is to solve all the puzzles in the room in order to be let out. Our room was themed like an abandoned lab. Neither of us had done an escape room before and we found it really challenging! We had to work together, communicate and think laterally. It was a great honeymoon date 😂

We also roamed through Powells books, the largest independent book store in the world, ate in the Brewery district and visited the Portland Japanese and Rose Gardens.  

    
    
    
    
    
    
 The weather in Portland has been very warm – it reminds us of home. Today is going to be a 37 degree Celsius day. Eep!
