... headed up Grouse Mountain the first day, in bright sunshine. Grouse is literally on the fringe of Vancouver and caters for skiers in winter and daytrippers the rest of the year. We had a great time - first a big gondola car whizzed us up the mountain, picnic lunch at the top, a walk to the grizzly bear enclosure, a raptor show including a young bald eagle, a chairlift to the lookout at the ...

... Instead of selling burger, I'm now in charge of people selling burgers! Its all diamonds and tiaras where I'm going! My first shift with my new found status was on Saturday at a cheerleading contest! I was delighted, until I got there and realised they were all 12 or under. Oh well, got to see a cheeleader cry, so its not all bad. So there you go, I'm now working all the bloomin time! Funny how things work. Right, this was supposed to ...

... real (it was!!). We had a few local brews in the pub, and then got some incredible food take away from the new restaurant, Stellina. We then headed to Marshall , where we stayed in this gorgeous little house RIGHT on the water - the waves lapping underneath, the red wine flowing, and the food...oh god, the food...!! The pizza of stinging nettles, the blood orange salad, the salad of local greens (I forget the name ...

We are off! Breakfast and church by 11:30 and cab ride to port. Lunch after we got on board before getting into our cabin. Hot tub and swim. Slight delay for a missing tender to get to the ship. Anchored for about an hour. Had a great dinner. Watched the Volendam dancers and singers in a short show. Typing up this blog now with wifi. Pretty slow so far. Day at sea tomorrow. Slow internet connection so will save pictures for later.

... around and offered drinks like tea, coffee and water, etc. 6pm: We had the early dinner seating and sat with a couple from Illinois and 4 ladies from Texas who were all really nice! Our waitress was Lourdes from Mexico and her assistant was Ramon. For an appetizer, I got a lobster tourain which was different, good mushroom soup, seafood shrimp puffed pastry (good) and a delectable Love Boat Dream chocolate mouse! We were at sea the next day also and met a couple from ...

... next flight. Our connection left at 5 pm and at 7:30 pm we landed in Santa Rosa. Our good friend Chris was there to pick us up with the two dogs, Jake and Tika. (see photo) We wondered if Tika would remember us, but she did and it was great to see her sweet face. Chris valiantly drove us back over the mountains to Philo and we arrived at 9 pm. With the time change it was a 20 hour journey. We had the great ...

... Chile - the first leg of the journey. I'm excited and nervous at the same time but really looking forward to the trip and what lies ahead of me. It will be a busy trip, lots to see and do, will meet many people, and of course experience many new cultures in a short time. Cheers, Jeff

... we have got in the car when in Canada and in the bag further on. A big THANK YOU to our friends in Vancouver for allowing us to couch surf for few days. Our plan for the next month is to drive across Canada, from Vancouver all the way to Sydney, Nova Scotia, with few detours it will be about 8000km. Visiting friends and family along the way, camping and staying in the motels and hostels on the rainy days.
