Driving & Driving

Here I am at the free Internet Cafe at our resort, and I thought that I would be able to download photo's to make the blog more interesting, but it's not working for now. So I'll continue with the travel story.

Thursday morning we headed out to see Mount Robson, as I'd seen some beautiful photographs and thought it was a worthwhile stop, but it took us about 2 hours out of the way, and there was a massive long and steep drive to the top of the mountain, and when we got to the top, there was just a mountain there with snow on it. Beautiful, but quite dissapointing. I think the postcard shot must've been taken from the air, and in the season of spring!!

We got back in the car and drove and drove and drove... and 5 hours later, we were still driving, and finally we arrived in Kamloops. We were exhausted, and our hostess (Lori Sargent) had gone all out with cooking Lasagne for dinner, and then we had some of the Kamloop ppl join us for readings afterwards. We did the names in Chronicles, which was rather a wipeout, cause we were all so tired, and someone began to giggle, and it was contagious. Unfortunately.

Another LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG drive followed on Friday, and we were very thankful that we hadn't chosen to travel via Prince George, as it's not so fun travelling for hours when you've got time deadlines .

We got quite lost trying to locate the entrance to a petrol station, and had to go round the block, which turned out to be blocks worth, and then had to ask someone to help us back. Thankfully everyone knows where the airport is, and we disposed of the car that had become our friend for the previous week.

Then, feeling not so fresh, we hunted round the airport to find the way to the ferry station for the trip across to Vancouver Island.
