Monday, 15th July
Today we go up the mountains with the several ski lifts/gondola's to Whistler Olympic Parc. We see many bikers fully dressed with protective clothing and a camera on their helmet. Phew very professional looking all.
It's cold up the mountain and we are glad we took our wind jackets.
The views are stunning and there is still lots of snow on the mountain tops.
We spot the furry marmots that gave Whistler it's name.
When watching the guys & girls at 7th Heaven doing all kind of dangerous jumps on skis and snowboards, I got stung by a horse fly although wearing a t-shirt and a sweater. Arghhh that hurts.
After returning at ground level where it is 28 degrees we go to the hotel garage to fetch our car. We have to drive 400 kilometers coz our next hotel is the Days Inn in Kamloops.
In the evening we eat a pizza, which we both don't like (too American). Oh well hope tomorrow food will be more tasty.

1 opmerking:
The Whistler regions is so beautiful and just as busy in the summer now as it is during the winter skiing season.
I didn't know that marmots were in Europe too.
