Canablog

For the first time since we have been here we had rain. It was misty, rainy but luckely not really cold. Coincidently we also had our fist visitors.... or maybe it wasn't a coincidence?

And to all dutch people reading this, the germans won the race to Canada ;-). Bas' ex-collegue Bjorn with wife and 3 months old baby came over for a three week holiday. They stayed here for a couple of days, and this weekend we met with them in Whistler. Since all the tent sites were taken (unbelievable in this rain) we put our tent up at their RV lot. Strangly we were not allowed to use the grass and thus slept on the pavement.....oefff)

Today is Labor day in BC, which means Bas has a day off and we could enjoy a long weekend. We had hoped to do some hiking in Whistler, but as said the weather did not help. So in the end we only went hiking to Whistler village were we enjoyed a very good meal. The next day, we did a short hike to the Nairn falls before returning home.

Today, we thought we could escape the bad weather by going shopping in Ikea... (oh no not again that Ikea, YES!!) So far we have slept on either our camping matresses or a thin foam matress borrowed from our neighbours. Time for a real bed... Alas we were not the only ones at Ikea. It seems to be no different from the Netherlands in that matter. Whenever the weather is going to be bad, and there is a bank holiday, go funiture shopping!

In the afternoon it turned out the weather was not as bad as was predicted. Good enough for a nice hike in Lynn Valley. Short but nice. And Robin could run around, which is what he likes best, and throw with a little ball.

Our bed will be delived Thursday, we hope that our furniture (on it's way now for almost two months) will also arrive this week (hopefully wednesday).. Our empty house will be suddenly full then ;-))
