Day 13 - Whistler

Woke up to hear rain outside and looked outside to a very dismal day😦. I had a cold and felt very bunged up so got a bit more sleep and then we drove out to Creekside Village to a diner I'd read about, "Dusty's". Took ages to find it as it was tucked behind a hotel at the base of the gondola.
Whistler was apparently built in a bid for the Winter Olympics in 1968; although they didn't win the bid then, the Olympics were held here in 2010. It's a very cute village and nearly everyone here is from other countries; loads of young people doing the summer or winter season as it's such a big ski and mountain bike resort. We spoke to an English lad the other day who told us it's a "fake" town - know what he means but it's also really nice. It's quiet right now as it's between seasons, so it's great for us. Can imagine it's heaving in the summer and the winter.
Didn't do much today because of the weather but went out for dinner to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant. So good!!! You basically get a bowl and choose all your own veg, noodles, spices, meats, sauces (and there's a huge choice), then you give it to the guys at the grill and they stir-fry it all for you. Tasted amazing but was expensive 🤔. Eating out is not cheap here.Læs mere
