Traveling to Canada is not for ants! What a journey! After 2 long flights and long hours in departure lounges we finally arrived in Vancouver.
The first night of our adventure was an interesting one spent in our hostel in down town Vancouver. Thankfully, the remaining beds in our shared, dorm style room remained unoccupied and we were able to get an early night and some much needed sleep! The late sunrise and chill in the air left no doubts that we were in a place where the winter is real!
We took a walk along the 'sea wall' promenade headed for the Greyhound bus station to book our tickets to Whistler. What an amazing place! Vancouver is spectacular! We will upload some photo's as soon as we can! If you ever take the bus from Vancouver to Whistler, be sure to sit on the left of the bus, the view is incredible!
There has been recent snow fall in Whistler and the view of the snow covered mountains got the excitement levels up! We caught the local bus to our apartment at Lost Lake Lodge, a mere 5 min ride to the town, certainly ideally situated!
A short walk to the job fair this morning affirmed the perfect location of our lodge! Only a 15 minute stroll to the base of the mountain!
Meg starts work on Monday, and I am awaiting for an answer from Blackcomb (the company that runs the slopes etc). The job hunt has begun, along with 100's of other travelers from around the world. Whistler is a melting pot of cultures and different accents. I am sure we are going to meet some interesting people.
Here are one or two pictures of the pretty town.
We need to get a SD card reader, and then will post the rest of the pics.
Bye for now
