After teary goodbyes, a long drive to Gatwick, followed by a 10-hour flight, we finally arrived in Vancouver on the 17th March 2015 to sunshine and warmth, much warmer than we expected! Having stopped off to pick up our chariot for the next month, a sturdy blue Nissan (probably the smallest car on the roads of Canada), me and Tom started the journey following the breath taking coastline over to Squamish, BC where we spent three nights pretty much recovering from lack of sleep and adjusting to Canadian life…
Excited for the snow on our second day we headed over to Whistler for a day’s skiing, however it was somewhat disappointing, slushy, rainy and made for a lacklustre day on the piste – however the hot tub and a few bottles of Dos Equis back at the place we were staying made up for it.
