... moose or wanna be local... =)


15. Day
Hagensborg – Lac Le Hache

This day was more or less just driving back to Williams Lake and a little further. So we managed this shitty gravel way up the mountain and the just drove back. On the way back we saw a cemetery, but this cemetery looked really macabre. There were wooden fences around each grave and on there were a lot of old, crooked crosses.
So this was nearly all we experienced that day. For sure we saw beautiful landscapes and animals.
This evening we watched “Schmirinskis” – AWESOME! =)
And too we had a motto…
“über stock und stei!”



16. Day
Lac Le Hache – 100 Mile House – Green Lake – Clinton – HWY99 – Whistler

It was just amazing scenery that we were driving through today.
As everyday we got up early and got prepared to drive to Whistler, which was the next stop on our tour.
First stop was 100 Mile House where we went to the visitor’s office to ask what we should visit in this small village. This was when we met Silvia, she’s emigrated from Switzerland, and she was very nice and told us where we should go. She showed us the roads and places which are of the beaten track, so that we were able to see what not every tourist sees.
Soo we drove that road and suddenly saw a moose crossing the street. Everybody was really excited to have seen such an animal, it was the first time in wildlife for all of us. But the funny story about this experience was that when Susi told us that there is a moose on the street Mario was looking for a mouse (as moose sounds similar to Muus in Swiss-German).
Later we got to Green Lake, the name of this lake was not farfetched as the water of this lake was turquoise almost green. Soon after we passed another beautiful lake, in its midst a lonely island. So we just had to stop and take some pictures. =) We were thinking about how to get to this island when Claudio told us that it would be an easy thing, that you just could walk through the water as the island was just about 5 meters away from the shore. So we told him to show us how he can get to the island, we thought the water would be tooooo deep and cold for him to make it. And guess what, we were right :P
Thank Silvia we saw something like a Canyon, it was amazing! :P
Once on the highway 99 we stopped because it was another scenic landscape. We just crossed the rail tracks :P and we wanted to know if a train was coming soon so an “Indian” listened at the track, but it was silent so we took some pictures and continued our way to Whistler.
Arrived in Whistler, found a camping we headed downtown and looked for Pili. She was visiting us, so we went for pizza. =)
After this delicious meal we joined the Kokanee Party which took place because the Telus World Festival takes place from the 16. – 25. April.
Motto of the day…
“Moose is not a Muus”

17. Day
Whistler

My day was just great! :P
The snowboarding pro’s of our family hit the slopes but I visited the village, as it was the first time to be there for me. I know I should be a bit ashamed but I must admit it’s just a cute village, for me it seemed like being in ‘Europa Park’.
But soon it started to rain and I checked out the shops and Starbucks :P
Later on I enjoy a body wrap and a massage in a local spa centre! It was awesome. =)
In the afternoon I met my friends and we watched the Orage Masters together and then went back to the camping.
Motto of the day…
“Wanna be local…!”
