Well the bus was so difficult to sleep on as it wasn't that comfortable plus what made it worse was the fact that there was hardly any straight road- it felt like the driver was going round a continuous 'S' shape, it was just bend after bend after bend making me feel quite sick. I slept on and off and woke up at 6.30 this morning to a beautiful sunrise. We stopped off for breakfast around 8.30 and I was surprised at how quickly the journey seemed to be going. To...

We got up early this morning to pack as we were checking out at 11am but we wanted to make the most of our day as we weren't catching the bus until 9pm. Again we had a lovely sunny day. We headed over to the place where we had to pay for the trip we'd booked up and asked to get an earlier shuttle bus so we could do the cedar trail first. We were then informed that it was a 7km walk just to the base of the trail and then about 4 hours to walk after that!! Not onl...

Well what a couple of planks we are! We leave this hostel tomorrow (29th) and have booked our first night in our hostel in Banff on the 29th.

Plus we had originally booked three nights 29th-2nd but they couldn't accommodate us for the last night so we've been on the phone this morning trying to get all that ...

We are now in Whistler. We caught the 1pm Greyhound from Vancouver and travelled along the sea to sky highway passing through some really beautiful picturesque scenery; mountains, forests, rivers and streams etc. It only took us 2 hours and 20 minutes to get here. Our hostel is pretty amazing. It was built as part of the olympic village and because it's so new and so clean it feels more like a hotel. The room we're in is a dorm of 4. There is a huge dining room, ...

Today we've just been getting everything sorted and ready for tomorrow as we head to Whistler tomorrow afternoon. We stocked up on snacks for our journey there and for the journey from there to Banff. We've spent a week in Vancouver and I really feel that we've made the most of our time here and seen most of what Vancouver has to offer. We're excited about getting to Whistler as a couple of people have said that it's beautiful there at the moment as the trees a...
