Day 16 Prince George to Lillooet Up early we were on the road by 8:30am after a quick breakfast, goodbyes and fuelling the car. Today we were heading south to Lillooet. Lillooet is a small town north east of Whistler. From what we could gather it was a mining town. However, we are getting ahead of ourselves as we had the drive first. We were travelling just over 500kms or approx. 6 hours today, heading mainly south. The drive was again on a secondary road...

Day 5 Up and out again by 7.30am to catch the train out to the airport to collect the rental car. As we were leaving we saw a racoon come through the gate of a neighbouring property. He/she was closely followed up by a friend. They stopped to look at us but then continued on their inspection of other properties, not the least bit concerned about us. One was not the least bit embarrassed to stop and use the corner of the little retaining wall to scratch its...

Day 3 Up early this morning as we had to be in town to catch the Land Sea tour bus from the Holiday Inn. We caught the bus from Main Street (about a half km walk from where we are staying) down to East Broadway Street, then another bus down Broadway to the pickup point. We had about half an hour to spare so had a little wander around the area. As the Holiday Inn was the last pick up point we did not have a great deal of options for seating on the 24 seat...

Day 2 - First day sightseeing in Vancouver. After a good night's sleep, we awoke to a lovely day. The temperature reached to mid 20's. We headed up to Main street to catch the bus into downtown Vancouver. A very helpful bus driver informed us that we could not use paper money to purchase a ticket, only coins. He graciously let us ride into the city for free. On arrival we went to the tourism office along the waterfront, near Canada Place. Once again...
