Slow moving morning but we eventually we made it into the reception area for our free breakfast. The girls were excited as this place had make your own waffles where you pour the batter onto an automatic grill that you flip and it beeps when it's cooked. Yum. Headed off in average weather, it was overcast and rainy so we went to the local cheap shop to find raincoats and only managed to get 3 plastic ponchos with Canadian flags all over them - not touristy at al...

We decided that since everyone was feeling better we deserved a nice breakfast and found a place in the heart of kamloops called hello toast. It was packed and received great reviews on trip advisor etc. It didn't disappoint with all of us receiving an amazing meal - all of them huge. Isla and Josie shared a bacon and eggs (although they preferred the cooked ham to US bacon), elz has an omelette, wade had something called a birdsnest and I couldn't go past green ...

This continued through until morning and we cancelled our plans to head out to the Granville markets and stay in the room until ch...

We are in search of what I'm told is the best gelato shop in the world but it becomes pretty clear that the girls are too unwell and I feel like I need to take them to a doctor. This is...

After breakfast in our room we walked down davie st and along the beach toward Stanley park. The beach was dark in colour and the water quite flat. We figured out the best way to see this place was by shuttle tram as it's way to big to get everywhere on foot. It worked well, this on off systems dropped us in all the best locations. Elodie started to feel a bit crook by the end of the day and Isla coughed pretty much all day and begged to be carried everywhere s...
