Day 1
I managed to watch 2 movies on the plan trip to Vancouver
and a Mark Cavendish documentary. Doing so however meant that I got little
sleep. I am proud of the fact that for 13 hours I managed to stay in my seat
and not use the on board toilet.
The bikes arrived which was decidedly un stressful and to
top it off they were undamaged. The
whole process from Nelson to Vancouver went like clockwork with the sole
exception being Adi turning down the flight lollies when she could have got
them and passed them on to me!
We assembled our bikes outside the airport terminal and who
should we bump into but my bosses Jo and Mike from the bike shop and the rest
of their family. There goes my excuse of looking after my sick Mum for 10
weeks.
We cycled on to the local camping ground to find out that
they have had a bear in the park so we
must look out. Adi is over joyed by this. This evening she is in full watch
mode.
Day 2.
A beautiful day and still no bears sighted. O’ well we are
still in the middle of Vancouver. We jumped on our bikes and cruised by the
local cycle shops looking for a pair of shorts for Adi as she brought her
threadbare ones by mistake. Honestly the Canadians don’t need that sight. Their
summers are short and they should be enjoying every second. We cycled around
Vancouver peninsular and then back to camp along the cycle ways. I’m pleased
because we have picked up all essentials such as the camping fuel, cycle oil
etc. Ken the primus fired up on the local
spirits perfectly and I set here with a full tummy after heating up canned stew
and rice. Well my tummy would be full if Adi had put enough rice in.
