So today I got up and packed and said goodbye to Leah and Dave before heading to the airport ready for the start of my next adventure. I can't believe I am starting my final chapter. As it's Canada day today and Canada is celebrating 150 years the people in the hotel suggested I left early in case there was traffic! Well funnily enough there was no traffic so I arrived at the airport in 15 minutes and was a little early to say the least. Anyway I checked in an...

So today we got up and went and had our final breakfast, bidding farewell to our new friends one last time. After our farewells Jas and I collected our bits and made our way to Stanley Park. We decided to take the slightly longer route to avoid town and walk along the waterside.

This gave me a little bit of time to wrestle my suitcase shut! (Something I won't miss when I get home!). Our first stop of the day was to the Squamish Lil'Wat Cultural centre where we found out about some of the First Nations customs and their lifestyles. Our guide was from the Squamish community and took us on a tour of t...
