Favourite shot of the day... River near Sun Peaks...
Cherry Blossom at Hope on the way to Sun Peaks...Today our wakeup call was at 6am and bags were packed and ready to go by 6:30am. After breakfast it was all aboard the bus for the first leg of the bus tour, and our first stop was the Capilano Suspension Bridge which of course we had already visited with Heathers Mum. Still, there was plenty more for us to see there again and this time we did the tree-top walk which we had not done the day before.
Then it was on to Sun Peaks, and on this part of the journey we really started to get above the snow line for the first time. The Delta Sun-Peaks Resort is our home for the night and while not quite the same quality as the 5 star Fairmont Vancouver that we have had the past 6 nights, the Delta Sun-Peaks is still very comfortable and warm and cosy. After dinner this evening we enjoyed a 45 minute informative lecture on how the fur trade has impacted the birth of Canada as a nation. It was an excellent lecture and the speaker was not only humorous but a great communicator. Today we often thought of our good friends Peter and Lorraine from Adelaide with whom we shared our journey to Europe in 2005. Travelling on the bus often brought back memories of the many laughs we then had along the way, so we often found ourselves wishing they were along with us to enjoy the same journey. The pace of this trip so far has certainly been slower than the trip we did to Europe with Trafalgar. This is not a complaint at all as we are actually enjoying the slower pace and finding more time to relax and enjoy. Tomorrow we head off to Jasper for a two night stay which will include a trip to Maligne Canyon, the which we were told today will still be frozen over, something that we were pleased to hear, in the hope of getting some awesome pictures of the frozen waterfalls.
