As we were driving around today, I thought I wasn’t going to have much to say in today’s blog but it turned out we had a lot happen during the day. We slept in this morning – when we crossed the State line between British Columbia and Alberta our clocks went forward an hour and […]
Read More Canada Day 11While we didn’t have to check out of Clearwater until 11, the power company was turning off the Electricity from Kamloops all the way to Valemont (which is a couple of hundred kilometers) at 7:30am so there wasn’t a lot of point staying at the motel. We were on the road by 8:30 and headed […]
Read More Canada Day 10We leave Whistler today and are driving towards Jasper. Jasper is about 742 km from Whistler so we are breaking it into two days. Today we are driving to Clearwater which is about 423km from Whistler. According to Apple Maps it will take us a little over 6 hours without stopping. Stu and I had […]
Read More Canada Day 9It’s our only full day in Whistler today so Stu and I were up early (as usual) and off for a walk. We followed a path called the Spearhead Trail which wound back up in to the Mountain. When it turned to dirt we got a little nervous (there are bear warning signs everywhere) so […]
Read More Canada Day 8We are back on the ferry today and heading back to the mainland. We had to be out of the Airbnb before 10 am so we were all up fairly early and ready to head off by a little after 9am. The drive up to Nanaimo was just under two hours, so we had a […]

They are so beautiful, however I imagine they are probably a bit of a pest for the people trying to farm the land. […]
Read More Canada Day 6Stu and I started our day with a bit of a walk. We wandered down the path next to our Airbnb and up to the main road – not thinking it would be busy at 7:30 in the morning. Walking on the road was a little nerve wracking so today (as I am writing this) […]
Read More Canada Day 5We are off to Vancouver Island today! We had a little bit of a sleep in this morning (we had a little bit of a late night last night especially for me) as we didn’t have to be at the airport until 10 this morning. We caught an Uber out to the airport, the driver […]
Read More Canada day 4As we only have two days in Vancouver it has been go, go , go. This morning we are off to Grouse Mountain. We walked down to Canada Place and caught the complimentary shuttle up the mountain. We went to get on to the cable car and our tickets wouldn’t scan so we had to […]
