As you can see, we hired a modest vehicle on Sunday, and took a trip to Whistler which is a ski resort 125 km’s north of Vancouver in the mountains.
The drive was spectacular, and I enjoyed being passed by a group of 8-10 Lamborghinis on the freeway – several million dollars worth out for a drive. The town is in bear country and there are signs everywhere with instructions on what to do if you bump into one on the trail – apparently you should stand your ground, speak softly to the bear and then back slowly away – hmmm!
The day before the big trip we went to Stanley park which is on the waterfront, and tried to take pictures of the floatplanes taking off but they were too fast for us. The park had a whole lot of totem poles some of which Pauline is standing in front of.
Today is not so hot, I think it’s only about 18 so I’m happy. Pauline and Simon are off at a meeting somewhere, I’m kicking back in the apartment but I’m going to look at the second hand bookshops nearby.
I hope all is well in NZ and you’re not too frozen!
