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. […]
Read More Canada Day 25 and Canada Day 26 (Final Full Day)I know I said I wasn’t going to post anything else until our first full day in Vancouver, however I’ve changed my mind. Our sea day (officially) started exactly the same as the day before very rough and rocky. We had apparently had a rough night as well (I hadn’t felt it while I slept), […]
Read More Canada Day 23/Alaska Day 7 and Canada Day 24Over the last couple of days we made our way down from glacier territory and the national parks to Vancouver. We had 840 (ish) kilometres to drive so we broke it into two parts and drove from Field to Kamloops and then Kamloops to Vancouver. The highway down from Field to Golden and then on […]
Read More Canada Day 15 and 16 (Driving Days)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 […]
Read More Canada Day 13 and 14This 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 […]
Read More Canada Day 12As 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 […]
