		<title>Day 6 &amp; 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up very early to catch the Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Kamloops. The coach took us right to the carriage we were in and we found our seats. There was heaps of leg room and the clear domed roof gave great views. It was slow going until we got out of the suburbs of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up early and off in the tour bus to Capilano Suspension Bridge. I was able to cross the bridge without too much terror. I did hang on to the cable on one side and Mrs Hoot&#8217;s hand on the other though! Across the other side was forest with Douglas Firs, Cedars and Maples. Those firs [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Time is Nearly Here&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Only four days to go now before we begin our Grand Canadian tour. And because Chris has updated the blog (thanks), I thought I better do a test post. A very quick photo of a few travel type things and a bit of text ought to do for the test. Excitement is beginning to kick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rambling About</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday 5th May.  &#8216;Twas a lovely day and so I decided to go a little further afield to do some birdwatching.  I headed for the Whipstick Forest about 20kms away from home.  The GPS didn&#8217;t help at all and in fact got me misplaced (note: not lost).  Just as I was going to give up [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Auto-focus Fails&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like Auto-focus.  It works very well most of the time.  Except today it was a complete and utter failure.  The subject was a bird (what else) called a Clamorous Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus stentoreus) and as you can imagine, they live in reeds.  They are very vocal little birds but very hard to see, especially [...]]]></description>
