Seattle here I come

USA | Friday, 30 May 2008 | Views [327]

Had the most annoying driver in the world on the coach to Seattle.  I have no doubt in my mind that he thought he was hilarious and was doing us a great service by chatting along and pointing out that there were lamas on the left and a casino on the ... Read more >


Up in the trees

CANADA | Thursday, 29 May 2008 | Views [410]

Another big trek today.  Becky and I went our separate ways forst thing then met up at the seabus terminal to go across to the North bank of the river and up to the Capilano suspension bridge. The seabus crossing was fun and on the otherside there was ... Read more >

Becky was feelign poorly this morning so I went off on my own to runa  few chores and bought an equatorial sleeping bacg at a rock bottom price in the hope that it's going to be scorchingly hot in Africa! Took some lunch back to the room and Becky was ... Read more >


Vancouver - what you got to offer?

CANADA | Tuesday, 27 May 2008 | Views [437]

So today was one of those days where I'mnot sure either Becky or I really knew what we wanted to do. We went to the Art gallery (cos we happended to be passing) which turned out to be an expensive mistake as they only had two exhibitions on, one was ... Read more >


Viva Vancouver

CANADA | Monday, 26 May 2008 | Views [412]

Last day in Victoria.  We weren't in a ny hurry to head across to Vancouver because we have just found Victoria to be the most lvely place.  I would happily stay here longer or come back another day and would certainly recommend it to other people as ... Read more >


What whale?

CANADA | Sunday, 25 May 2008 | Views [400]

Started the day with a  trip to the Royal British Columbia Musuem and saw one of the most interesting exhibitions of my trip so far. It was called Freespirit and was all about the people of British Columbia who have made the province what it is today ... Read more >


Victoria - that regal city

CANADA | Saturday, 24 May 2008 | Views [387]

So here we are in Victoria.  We had a domestic morning doing washing, sending postcards (Becky) making phonecalls (Me) and using the internet. I have been trying to work out a plan given the disaster of the buyers pullign out of the purchase.  Looks ... Read more >


Lots of swear words

CANADA | Friday, 23 May 2008 | Views [533]

We have a truly horrible day ahead of us and it's all my fault.  late last night I realised that I had been incredibly stupid and done something I've never done before; I managed toleave my wallet behind at the care hire desk. We called them and they ... Read more >


Vancouver Island here we come

CANADA | Thursday, 22 May 2008 | Views [569]

So picked up our hire car this morning.  Yet more hints of deliverance and people who aren't quite all there.  The woman (who eventually turned up at the hire desk once we called her home number!) took forever.... to sort out the car and told us several ... Read more >


Epic breakfast

CANADA | Wednesday, 21 May 2008 | Views [464]

So, with some trepidation, we presented ourselves at the breakfast table at 8am and it was epic.  We started with fruitsalad with a sort of muesli, followed by the most solid banana muffin I think I've ever had (luckily small, contrary to Canadian and ... Read more >


George to Rupert

CANADA | Monday, 19 May 2008 | Views [352]

Uneventful night in Prince George which pretty much seemed to be completely closed because of the memorial weekend! Back on the train and we had screaming kids down our end of the carriage, luckily they weren't on for long and pretty much all of the ... Read more >


Skeena time

CANADA | Sunday, 18 May 2008 | Views [362]

Time to catch the train to Prince George. Drove back into Jasper to drop the car off and had the pleasere of seeing a mother bear and two cubs crossing the road in front of us and then saw about 6 Elk all standing in and by the road just at the exit ... Read more >

CANADA | Saturday, 17 May 2008 | Views [542]

So today we were going to drive back into the Banff national park to the Columbia icefields where we were going to take a trip up onto the Glacier and then stay the night but it all went horribly horribly wrong..... Drove out of town and there was a ... Read more >

Lake Minnewanka - look this is serious....

CANADA | Tuesday, 13 May 2008 | Views [652] | Comments [1]

More pancakes for breakfast, this could become a habit.... Much much colder today and windy too so we wrapped up warm before heading off to Lake Minnewanka to walk the trail up there. The lake was ENORMOUS and nearly the whole thing is still frozen ... Read more >
