OTTAWA - Our first day in the snowy capital of Canada... Arriving at Hotel Indigo was a pleasant surprise! Below is a quick summary of our day.

9:25 AM
Taking Via Rail train from Toronto to Ottawa.

The train journey is quite long (4 hours), but very comfortable. Business class cars offer reclining seats, ample leg room and power outlets for electronic devices. Priority boarding, complimentary newspapers, a delicious meal with wine, hot & cold beverages - everything is included in your ticket price. And, what's really important, the customer service is excellent!
