Graham was a star and picked me up from the hotel to repatriate me with my Winnie! After grabbing my stuff from Graham's place I returned to my last RV site to do laundry and sleep.

At Canada Place (docks) Vancouver awaiting boarding the Star Princess for my voyage to Alaska (in comfort). 7 days calling at three places on the way to Whittier. Niiiiiccccceeee!

Downtown Vancouver in a hotel awaiting boarding the cruise ship tomorrow. Many many thanks to Graeme and Marcie and Matthew for putting me up and putting up with me and my coughing all week.

Staying with Graeme Watt and family in Abbotsford British Columbia, Canada. Went to watch the rugby final and Abbotsford won. The party at the club afterwards was brilliant with so many nice people. We closed the club at 03:30 and arouse for an 11:30 Mother's Day brunch. Nice!

The cover photo says it all! The last three days have bee a man-flu nightmare. I'm just getting through it with the help of these meds and plenty of sleep. 14 hours yesterday -slightly less last night. But despite that I managed to cross the border into British Columbia Canada. I'm gonna try for my first cache in my 21st country later today. Tomorrow, I'm meeting up with Graeme Watt. Hope he's got the kettle on!
