Driving to Vancouver > Flying to Vancouver without a doubt. Sorry guys, there's just no comparison. Words cannot describe what we saw today.
Three hours from Vancouver. Staying in Coquitlam tonight at Debbie's place.
The Rockies were amazing, it felt like every 5 minutes I was pointing something out and saying "wow". The massive slopes and snow covered evergreens were amazing. The drive from Banff to where we took the picture at Kicking Horse was fairly straight but as soon as I took over from Corey it seemed to just be winding mountain roads like something from a movie. Between Corey and I we took over 200 pictures in about 5 or 6 hours.
After driving for a few hours we stopped and mucked some subs from Subway in Revelstoke. After we stopped in Salmon River to get some "supplies" for our hotel room. The views were amazing. The rivers and lakes around this area reminded us all of Lord of The Rings - long and winding around huge mountains (but not statues unfortunately). So worth the 48 hours, 3835km we have traveled so far. Couldn't have picked a better group to experience this with - even though sometimes Dana's feet smell, we forgive her.
We've been talking to some people about the opening ceremonies (BILLY) and as most of you are witnessing they are supposedly extremely moving and are bringing people close to tears. So proud to be Canadian!!!!!!
Tonight we hope to go out to a pub or small bar around Debbies house and celebrate the end of the long trip. Debbie says she's got cold beer waiting for us - it will be a amazing after 48 hours in a car. All we need now is a little bit of chicken fried.
