Blogs from North Vancouver, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, North America

Nous sommes partis dans la température typique de Vancouver; le ciel gris, la pluie et pas plus que 10 degrés. La remorque est fantastique. J'était un peu nerveux au début mais après quelques centaines de miles, j'ai pas mal confiance. Les motos sont très sécures. Nous nous sommes rendu chez nos amis Amanda et Ryan a Centralia au Washington, nous sommes arrivés vers neuf heures, Amanda a préparé un bon spagetti. Ils ont étés pas mal avenants de nous recevoir vu qu'ils viennent de se marrier la fin de semaine passé. Comme cadeau de marriage, Amanda a recu un " holster" rose pour son révolver rose, son père aimait probablement pas qu'elle le trimballe sans étui dans sa saccoche. Malheureusement les deux étaient malades alors nous sommes parti tôt le lendemain. Ca c'est bien addoné vu ... read more

Technically today is February 7, but I have been so busy this last week or so, combined with the wi-fi at the hostel going down, that I haven't been able to do these. I'll still be doing it in incriments to keep it shorter and simpler. I did end up going out with Kathy and Janina on Friday night. We were joined by a German guy from the hostel. For the life of me I just can't remember his name. We went to the bar at SameSun backpackers to have a look at it and have a drink. I got talking to a girl from Camberwell at the bar and she said it was the quietest the bar had been all week. I got quite excited and decided to move there, which I was already leaning ... read more

Yello! Matt en Sofia zijn gwn té vriendelijk en echt geweldige mensen.. Op de eerste avond konden ze helaas niet bij me zijn maar ik kreeg meteen een hele uitleg over alle nabij gelegen eetzaakjes, sleutels tot het appartement, mijn eigen kamer met queensize bed.. En ik mog eigenlijk doen wat ik wou. Na me even op te frissen toch maar eventjes naar buiten gegaan voor iets te eten.. Maar ik was hééél moe dus heb niet echt veel moeite gedaan en vrij snel ergens binnen gegaan. Lang moeten wachten en iets duurder dan ik verwacht had maar de honger was weg en mijn eerste canadeese pintjes waren een feit. Helaas geen wereldveranderende verrassingen daar.. Dan maar naar huis en gaan slapen rond 20u.. Zaaaalig geslapen, wel even wakker geweest rond 4u maar in totaal toch ... read more

Before we left Seattle, Steve, Annabel, Kylie, Scott and I headed over to the Pike Place Market mainly to look for the very first Starbucks shop in America, but having failed to find it, settled for a cooked breakfast in one of the cafes in the market. The weather was really overcast, and so foggy that the tops of wethe buildings around us are covered. Today’s drive was only a short one, 3 hours in all. Our destination was Vancouver, but before that, we had a slight detour in the shape of Todd’s folks. There has been talk over the past few days that his mum wanted to meet the Group and that Todd was trying to arrange a visit as we pass through. Todd’s parents met us at the door, and after being welcomed into ... read more
