Sunday May 21st was a beautiful morning in Vancouver, British Columbia. We had a blue sunny sky, a temperature of 22C and we were with Mum and Dad. We were back in Canada and it felt great. Unlike getting off a long flight, we were well rested and had lots to talk about as we drove from downtown to Whistler that morning. We had a nice lunch there and spent most of the afternoon walking around the picture perfect mountain village.
The next day we took a ferry to Gibsons. Both Whistler and Gibsons had been on my B.C. hit list for awhile now and it was great to finally make it to both places.
We had another day of perfect weather for our day at Gibsons. The quaint town is perched on a hillside overlooking the harbour filled with fishing boats. The town is also well known for being the location for the longtime hit TV show "The Beachcombers".
We enjoyed wandering around town and checking out some of the shops, half expecting to see Nick or Relic walk down the road at any moment.
Posing for pictures in front of the Persephone and eating at Molly's Reach were highlights for me and brought back lots of childhood memories of watching the show on CBC.
The next day we drove to Kelowna and the day after on to Banff. After a night in Banff we made our way on to Edmonton the next day.
We really appreciated Mum and Dad meeting us in Vancouver. It was a great way to kick off The Canadian leg of our journey. It was a nice couple of days on the road. The scenery was beautiful and the drive gave us a great chance to catch up.
