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...

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...
