Sunday drive

Had a much better nights sleep last night!!!
Hot day today, sun was out and the predicted top was 16 degrees, almost time for shorts and t-shirts.

Went for a drive to Squamish this morning along the Sea-to-Sky Highway.  We did it the other day in the rain, it was only about 50 kilometres, we had nothing else planned, thought a Sunday drive to annoy the locals would be nice.  Got away at 9.30 and had coffee in Squamish then took about 2 hours to get home after stopping at all the scenic views.  By that time the traffic was thick, lots of cyclist, motorcyclists and tourists.  Managed to get the car back to Vancouver and decided to return the car this afternoon rather than in the morning when we will be packing and getting to the airport.  (To hire/return a hire car to the airport there is a 17% surcharge, so we picked up and dropped off Downtown).

After our drama with Budget on arrival it was smooth sailing on return.  No dents or scratches so we passed that test.  Drove 5,489 kilometres with just one little under carriage panel falling off and screwed back on with screws bought in Calgary.  No problem!

Walked around town, back to Gastown, had our one and only McDonalds lunch in Canada, got back to the motel to try and regain some energy to go out to find tea.
Well, we didn't get any energy and had tea at the pub next door, now we have to pack.  Looking forward to that!!!

At Browning Lake on the Sea-to-Sky Highway.

Beautiful, peaceful spot.

Lots of rocks, moss, trees and narrow walking paths.

A little angel in the woods.

The reason they call it the Sea-to-Sky Highway.  From the waterfront to the snow.
