Back to YVR and on to Whistler

The kids and Paula all readied themselves for the working week and said fond farewells. Danny cooked the eggs and then dropped us at Duke Point for the 10.15 sailing of Coastal Inspiration to Tsawwassen. Took 150 minutes to cross which meant limited time to meet up with Rocky friend Alex and hubby Nigel who were doing the trip east to west. In the end we had about 15 minuets to exchange experiences and leaflets before we had to board the 13.00 bus.
Eventually we picked up a very pleasant Nissan Altima at the airport and plodded through Vancouver afternoon traffic then heading through Stanley Park and over Lions Gate bridge and north on highway 99. We needed a quick stop for mid afternoon pizza in Horseshoe Bay then on to Whistler. The Crystal Lodge is very comfortable and convenient and the smoked chicken pie and beers at the Beacon Pub excellent. Rock and Gem shop is right next door!Læs mere
