Seattle to Vancouver

And we’re back in Canada! Just over 6 months after finding ourselves here for Christmas, we were back to experience this incredible landscape in Summer. The past 4 months in Oz feel like a blur and it’s nice to have a change from the van life.

Our flights through the US gave us a day to explore San Fran before catching a late night flight up to Seattle. From here it was a short bus ride up to Vancouver. However, the border crossing into Canada was the big unknown for the trip. Would they let me back into Canada despite my visa issue? The nerves kicked in as the bus pulled off the freeway and into the Border Crossing queue. Long story short, after an hour of questioning and deliberation I was handed my Passport and we were cleared to enter! What a massive relief!!

We treated ourselves to a nice hotel in central Vancouver with a sauna and enjoyed a quiet evening thankfully to have made it.

The next day we rented bikes and rode around Stanley Park and the waterfront. With high 30°’s the day was stunning.

The cheapest option for us to get to Kelowna was to rent a car one way and use it as our accomodation for the next couple days. We picked up an SUV we could fit our sleeping mats in the back of and got on the road East. With sunset being after 9pm we had plenty of time to get out of suburbia and into the farmland up the valley.Read more
