Today it was back on Pacific Coastal’s short flight to Vancouver and then a drive up to Whistler. All was going well until leaving the airport where I (and about 2,000 other road users) encountered a monumental traffic jam. It took me around 90 minutes to clear the airport entry/exit road, a distance of about a mile and a half. I later discovered that this is typical for Vancouver airport which begs the question why does anyone take a car anywhere near the place… After getting out it was a steady drive through Vancouver to Highway 99. After clearing Vancouver it was a picturesque and easy drive up to Nick and Kirsten’s place in Whistler where they have now been for 3 years. It was good to see them as well as to meet their two dogs, Buster and Ivy, for the first time. They are such sweet characters!
My good friends from Switzerland, Bigna and Monika, were staying in a campsite as part of a 5 week tour of western Canada so we met them for dinner at a nearby restaurant with an open fire oven. Needless to say we all had pizza and it went down very well! It was good to see both Bigna and Monika again and looking well.
