A tad behind again. This seems to be a bit of a recurring theme! I’ll just pick up where I left off… The day after Etienne left for Vancouver Island, I decided to go for a hike. I searched for ones around Vancouver, but struggled a bit given the season & the lack of car. …
Etienne left for Vancouver Island today. I’m heading to Whistler with work on Thursday (Etienne wasn’t invited) so we’ll regroup when we’re both back on Sunday. I’m super tired. I had work this morning plus another shift later this evening, so just having a chill day. I walked Etienne to the bus stop, visited the …
Yesterday we opted for the second recommendation we’d been given the day before – a bike trip around Stanley Park. I’d done some Googling ahead of time and found the Bee’s Knees bike shop did rentals, so off we went to find it. For some reason we changed our minds when we got there & …
When we arrived yesterday we headed straight to the hostel. It was too early for check-in & we hadn’t done any Googling or anything beforehand (again*), so had no clue what Vancouver had to offer. Fortunately, when we were leaving our bags in the storage area, a short “So, do you like living in Vancouver?” …
This weekend we took the train from Edmonton to Vancouver. It was bloody long… Somehow 33 hours on a train feels incredibly different to 24 hours on a train. That’s my key takeaway from the last two days. Oh, and also that the passé simple sucks. I tried to write this post on the train, …
I’m a little behind on my posts again, Eep! Luckily we’ve got a super long train journey to Vancouver, so I’m using the time to catch up again. The view is fantastic and Duke Dumont is pumping, so think the next few hours are gonna be pretty sweet; but more on that later. First, let’s …
Today was another pretty dull day. I worked in the morning and then we had some (more!) admin… I know it must seem like a breeze just flitting around the world, but there’s a fair bit going on behind the scenes. So, we booked our final bits for Washington (You know, those lodges I mentioned …
I promised a few days ago to post if something “insane” happened when we were skiing.Well, Etienne got a tooth infection (Hello, dentist!) and we saw some goats on the way back from the mountain. Nothing else really happened, but I wanted to share the goats… So here ya go: 🐐
Yesterday was another day skiing. This time at Nakiska. It was much easier than Kicking Horse, so I was happy about that! Planning to go again today too. I forgot to post this so now doing two days in one – we skied again today too. Skiing is great, but this blog has made me …
We arrived in Canmore yesterday. Our hostel here is super cozy with a real alpine/outdoorsy feel. Wood everywhere & I’m currently sat in front of big windows. I think there will be a really nice view when the sun comes out, but at the moment it’s just black outside. I’ll add one when my shift …
