We are never travelling on a Greyhound bus ever again! The name 'Greyhound' makes them sound fast, which they are not and sadly they are filled with some strange people! Anyway snobbery aside we made the journey through the mountains from Vancouver to Kelowna with a night en-route in Abbotsford. Sharon & Simon picked us up from the bus station and took us back to their very nice house on a golf course and have kindly put us up over the weekend. Kelowna is lo...

After a few very cold days in Victoria we got the ferry over to mainland B.C then a bus up into Vancouver which was a little warmer but not much. We walked miles in Vancouver, over to Granville Island for the markets, around Stanley Park and over to English Bay, we walked through Gastown, up to Canada Square then along the waterfront, we walked along Robson Street and crashed a Juno Award party. Vancouver was beautiful when the sun finally came out a grew on bo...

More crazy people per 1000 than anywhere else in th...

We have made it up to San Francisco and met up with my Mum & Dad again. We had a great drive from Hollywood out to Santa Monica then up the Pacific Coast Highway. We stayed overnight in Pismo Beach and Santa Cruz and arrived in San Fran on Saturday afternoon during the St. Patrick Day carnival! We drove over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and back before finding a hotel on Broadway (which is not as posh as it sounds!) We have spent the last few days exp...
