So today was a bit of a stressful one. Our car seems to judder at 70/80kmph so we booked it into the garage to have a look and they sorted what was wrong and changed filters etc. We test drove it after and it's fine - but there's still a slight judder and the mechanic said 3rd gear was damaged and the balljoint may go soon. So this has put us off as we were hoping to get at least a little something for this car when we finish our trip, (as we increased our bud...

Woke up at 7:30am today and did some skyping before heading out for a drive. We were going to head to Whistler, but decided to head to Squamish instead to give the car a bit of a run before we head to Jasper on Sunday. All is good with the car, just a bit of a judder when going between 70 & 80kmph, but if we turn off 'over drive' mode, its fine - but taking it to the garage tomorrow for them to sort out just to be sure.. (hopefully they can sort it!) Whe...

The alarm went off at 4:45am today and off we set at 6:15am to walk 30mins to catch the coach down to Seattle!

We arrived at the Peace Arch border where we queued for what seemed like ages to get through. We had our fingerprints taken, passports checked and visas stapled into our passports - then we got back on the coach for the rest of the journ...

Today has been another relaxing day. We got up fairly early and skyped with the family! Then set off to explore Stanley park. It's a huge park with very pretty trails throughout and a beautiful walkway along the seawall all the way round it. There are about three beaches there too, and amazing views across the water, and totems there which have interesting stories! We went to Beaver Lake there, but didn't spot any beavers sadly! We also took the car for a dr...

Today was another beautiful day weather wise. We've had a pretty chilled out day after our late night watching the ice hockey! Got up fairly early and tried a French Vanilla coffee from the breakfast room which was quite nice, but a bit sweet! Also got to skype with Mum and Clint earlier which is always a treat (sorry Kay for keeping you awake).. Jacob realised we'd left our insurance documents at the autosales, so we had to go back to collect them today - partl...
