Episode 13 Ottawa Tourism (Parliament Hill Special)

In this episode, I set out to talk about Ottawa (where I lived for a short while) and instead ended up doing a special spotlight on one of my favourite Canadian tourist destinations, Parliament Hill! I talk about what's inside the building, the monuments and statues outside (including a Whispering Wall!), tips on how to make sure you get a spot on a tour, special events at Parliament hill, some Canadian history, trivia and more! As a counterpoint, I also talk about the Royal Canadian Mint - a much less obvious tourist destination, but one that I hope you'll consider if you ever go to Ottawa.
