The car-ride to Pemberton through Squamish and Whistler
canadiantour, 07:37h
Aug 14, Sunday:
The day has come when I was about to travel to that farm in Pemberton, which is in the north of BC.
I was looking forward to that day quite a lot. Finally I will leave Vancouver and see a bit more of BC. Even though its only for a week, so far.
I got up at about 9 am and finished packing rather quickly. After some breakfast I relax a bit, surfing in the internet, updating that blog and stuff like that ;)
As soon as I had my lunch and skyped for a while with Jana (lots of greetings especially to her!!! =D ) I set off at about 1 pm. I took the skytrain till Granville Station and then bus #14 to a station near the Kitsilano Farmer Market. I took me a while to find the right busstation as Granville Street was closed for the granville summer, but finally i managed to get there ;) only a 5-minute-walk to the market and i was there at about 2.30 pm =)
I helped Alisha and Delaney to pack all their stuff in their van and was already rewarded with delicous cherries and plums =D =) oh, i love fruits!! =)
At 3 pm we set off to the farm; the car-ride was awesome, as we drove a beautiful street along, with the beach and mountains on the sides. We had to cross Squamish and finally Whistler, where we stopped to do some shopping. I got some choclate and joghurt and apples and things =)
After another break at the gas station, we covered the last distance very quickly and arrived at about 06.30 pm at the farm. I explored my new home – a van next to the house – with lots of fields and patches around. Their are also some hens with their chicks and ohne rooster.
And i experienced the first rain here in Canada today. I hope the weather will get better in the next days. Tomorrow I have to get up at 6 am to start work at 7 am. The works lasts till lunch and continues for about an hour after lunch. Then its my freetime =) probably i will explore pemerton a bit more, using the bycicle they have for me =D
I think work will be exhausting, but still i think, that this week will be brillant =)
