We wake up to more motorhome dramas, we contact one of the providers direct and Jacq manages to secure a vehicle for tomorrow although the last-minute aspect is costing an extra $500. She explains we've been trying for three days to book via an agency and gets a 10% discount - every little helps! This last-minute planning has set us back around $600 though - but, we're done, thank god. So, after 12 Jess comes back from the local market with a fresh supply of bre...

We jinxed ourselves, it was too bloody easy - the motorhome company is out of stock and needs more notice and they can't confirm the booking. It's an agent that sources an RV via various companies so we give them an alternative date the 14th and opt to spend the 13th in a VC hotel. We get a lift into VC with Chris we're gonna have a fun day out and forget all this stress!! We go to his work-shop where he works as a glass blower it's amazing to watch the process...

Happy birthday Samantha!!! We get up early and aim to head into VC with Chris, he's not feeling well so we abort that plan and head into the local town to check out vehicle insurance if we buy a car - it's not great at $650 dollars plus we have the hassle of sending plates back and selling the car never mind the possibility that it could break down at extra cost. John need us out earlier now as Jess's mum needs to come back sooner than planned to pack up having...

So today - is another chilled day, we try to spend it organising our next move researching hire cars, RVs and then settle on buying a second-hand car and kitting it out with a mattress, kind of like a station wagon or truck of sorts. John and Chris are off to Jess' mum for Mother's Day lunch and then they are off to a gig later tonight - some weird band we can't pronounce or spell so we chill as public transport to VC is not straight forward from Pitt Meadows,...

Everyone is a bit delicate today! John takes us to Billy's a bar by the water for lunch. They serve the most simple and tasty dish here called Poutine which is made up of chips topped with chicken jalapenos and sweet chilli sauce with goats' cheese on top - it's delicious!!! Matt has a similar dish with BBQ and garlic sauces. We meet John's mate Kris he's really friendly and chatty and we're useless in our hungover states! We're all a bit tired so opt for a BB...
