We are off to Whistler today which is a ski resort north of
Vancouver. We see the world's largest hockey stick - FINALLY my life is complete.
We leave Vancouver Island by
ferry and land at Horseshoe Bay, north of Vancouver. Ironically, Vancouver is not on Vancouver
Island. We can see this major city of
2.1 million in the distance from the ferry.
What we see is a flooded glacial valley from our
bus and we stopped en-route at Shannon Falls.
In winter, climbers use the frozen falls to climb
up…eeek. You can see the temperate
rainforest with its profusion of moss.
After our arrival in the afternoon at the Fairmont Chateaux
Whistler, we had a Black Bear talk from local expert Michael Allen. The talk was excellent and very informative.
There are 150 000 Black Bears in British Columbia alone.
That night we had an excellent dinner in the
restaurant. I had the halibut while
Elizabeth had half a chicken (unsure if left, right, front or back) with
fabulous desserts to finish off with.
