Bike-ride to Pemberton Town, the One-Mile-Lake and the Nairn Falls
canadiantour, 04:35h
Tuesday, Aug 16
I decided to work today only till 2 pm, in order to have more freetime afterwards (and working the two addtional hours on Thursday instead). After work i got ready for my exploration tour to Pemberton town. At about 2.30 pm i set off with my borrowed bike and cycled along the street, enjoying the sun and the view of the mountains, partly with glaciers on their peak. Altogether its about 12 km to Pemberton town... so quite a distance. Fortunately the way is rather flat, no steap hills to cover. I took me about an hour to get there (firstly, i am not that fast, secondly i dont want to be that fast at all – finally i want to enjoy the ride and thirdly i stopped from time to time to take some photos ;) ). I went to the tourist info centre to get a map of Pemberton and an explanation how to get to One Mile Lake. At around 4 pm I arrived at the lake, offering a small beach with loth of children playing there. ;) I rested there for a while, recovering from the bike-ride which was in fact not THAT tiring ( it is supposed to be worse on the way back =P ).
Finally I decided to visit as well the nearby waterfall (the Nairn Falls in Nairn Provinical Park). The drawback of this decision, however, was the fact that i would have to cycle up a hill.... -.- As i managed it at last, i can tell you that it was worth it ;).
At around 6 pm I headed for home again. After some shoppings, including some more suncreen (I actually bought one with 110 UV-protection xD i hope, i wont get sunburned ever again. =P)., I started my final ride back home. And now i really thought that the way would never end... i was so relieved to see the three red post boxes where i just have to turn right and then i was already back at my trailer.
It was an awesome trip through Pemberton and a good training session ;) =P Altogether it must have been a distance of over 20 km.... perhaps I can try the way from Woernitz to Rothenburg ob der Tauber next time xD =P
But this was really nothing, compared to the mosquito bites I have got spread all over my body. THEY really drive me crazy.... thats one disadvantage here... so many mosquitos! Incredible and annoying! I counted about 10 bites on my right foot alone...-.- so itchy... =/ needs lots of strenght to prevent me from scratching...
A quick a shower, listening to some music in bed and going sleeping at around 10.30 pm to be wake enough for the next day ;)
