We aim to head out towards Mud Lake today hopping to see some new sights. The drive is nice and weather improves as we go. 3 hours later the sat nav can't seem to find the lake so we stop at a water safari park to ask for directions - they laugh at the thought of us getting our RV down there apparently it would be a mission and get scratched up beyond repair so recommend the Blue River RV park. We opt to settle for it, it's nice but the recreation parks are so m...

We're still following our plan of 3 hour drives a day, at least we're trying to! 2 weeks to do this journey is a bit much so we have to spread it out thankfully there's just so much to see! We make tracks driving to Liloet on route Jacq spots a big black Bear in a piece of land next to someone's house just munching on the plants - we turn around and get a good look at him - boy is he big! He's gorgeous though and starts to walk away, his butt is the biggest by f...

We get up late and grab brekkie before making a move, Matt had been up early and spotted a black bear walking through the woods - Jacq's raging she missed it! You're safe enough apparently, providing you don't leave out food or block a bears path - we're really cautious and Matt watched him from the window strolling with his big butt in the air (the Bear not Matt) back towards the river. We pack up and move toward Whistler - the views are just breath-taking! We ...

We stock up the camper with fresh water etc and head out hoping to catch the 12.35 ferry with only 30 minutes to do 30 miles at 60km an hour. The speed limits are painful here but we make it literally minutes before they stop letting people queue up. It's another lovely ferry ride lasting only 40 mins and we exit aiming for Whistler with a stop near a creek on Cal Cheak road. It's only a 2-hour drive, 10 km from Whistler, but we have 2 weeks to do this route so ...

We check out at 10am our cab is coming at 10.30am it's been arranged by Happy Holidays the company we are using - it turns out they are not strictly in Vancouver, they are actually on the Sunshine Coast at Gibson's, a popular holiday destination only accessible by ferry. They pay for the cab there, ferry across, ferry back to VC, they don't cover the ferry back to Gibson's but do pay our ferry back to VC when we're done with cab fare included again - hard to beat...
