Canada Day 25 and Canada Day 26 (Final Full Day)

Today is 30/9 and it is currently 4:00pm. We fly home to Australia tomorrow so I thought I would do yesterday and today’s post now as we have finished our final scheduled activity. Day 25 We finally had bad luck with the weather in Canada, we have woken up to a very wet day today. […]

Canada Day 13 and 14

As we will be on the road a fair bit tomorrow I thought I would do day 13 and 14 together as I am not sure how much time I will have in the morning. Tomorrow we start our trip back to Vancouver with an overnight stop in Kamloops. Day 13 Today we are driving […]

Canada Day 12

This morning was a slow start as we don’t have any firm plans, maybe a little bit of a hike to see if we can spot any Moose or bears. After a leisurely breakfast we jumped in the car and headed out to Maligne Lake, we are hoping to get a lake cruise and go […]

Canada Day 11

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 […]

Canada Day 8

It’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 […]

Canada Day 6

Another early morning walk for Stu and I. I just realised that I posted the photos on yesterday’s blog. We saw some dear in the field next to the house this morning. They are so beautiful, however I imagine they are probably a bit of a pest for the people trying to farm the land. […]

Canada Day 5

Stu 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) […]
