  • Beach, Bamberton

    July 28, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Went for a swim, but wow, it was too cold to stay in the water. You notice that it is in the Pacific that you are swimming. Decided to just sit on the beach and read a book (The Martian).

  • Othello Tunnels, Hope

    July 29, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Another hike! Started with just a small walk through some old railroad tunnels, but eventually did the big trail. A little bit scary going on a small trail in the hills all by yourself, but it is nice and sunny, so wasn't attacked by any wild animals (mosquitoes excluded)Read more

    Decided to switch from WordPress to this app, it is easier to add small posts with my phone. Hope to keep my trip better updated like this. Hope in Hope ;) I will update the past days also in here.

    Beslist om over te schakelen van WordPress naar deze app, is gemakkelijker om kleine berichtjes te plaatsen met mijn telefoon. Hoop daarmee mijn reis beter up to date te houden. Hoop in Hope ;) Ik zal de afgelopen dagen hier ook in plaatsen.

  • Princeton

    July 30, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Started driving very early this morning, arrived in Princeton, but besides the very nice trip to here (with some deer on suicide missions) not much to do in this town. So now to the next town!

  • Kelowna

    July 30, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Feeling like 'Knokke' here, but nice city near the lake but feels a little bit made, with too green lawns. And it is very warm here. Boiling in my van without airco. At least they have a lot of wines and beers here. Sticked to just a beer.Read more

  • Christina Lake

    July 31, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Having a swim and some sunbathing on the road to Nelson. The water is nice and really cooling compared to the temperatures here.

  • Nakusp

    July 31, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    After hipster town, now a beautiful town next to a lake in the mountains. Buying a boat is still on my bucket list. Nice and quiet here.

  • Prince Rupert

    August 4, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    After a very long drive but with amazing views arrived in Prince Rupert. I think this is my maximum on kilometres a day, but you never know. Was thinking of taking a ferry to Alaska, but it looks you had to book in advance and it is only possible on certain days. Too bad.Read more

  • Stewart

    August 5, 2016 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    After an eventful drive arrived in Stewart, a very small town near the border with Alaska. Only just before dark arrived here, because some problems with the car as mentioned and because the road was then also blocked for 1 hour by some trucks. But happy I made it. Definitely because it is the only town here in 200 km radius... Did saw multiple black bears on the side of the road. One even decided to cross the road just before a passing car (he stopped in time). I guess it isn't only the deer that are suicidal here.Read more

  • Bell II lodge

    August 6, 2016 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    Staying in a lodge on the road to Watson Lake. So expensive here. But I wanted to celebrate a month in Canada with a decent bed and bath.

  • Fort Nelson

    August 8, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Again an amazing trip. Saw a couple of black bears, bisons, mountain goats and some beautiful scenery on the way here. To bad the camping spot is nothing good and expensive. Should have looked for something else.Read more
