Day 4 - Victoria to Whistler

Up early and in the bus for our trip to Whistler. They are crazy here about ice hockey.  The finals are being played and the whole country stops - a bit like the AFL finals.
Bus through Vancouver Island then on the ferry for 90 minutes and then 3 hours to Whistler.  Just arrived - more info tomorrow.

The largest hockey stick in the world !!!


Great scenery, misty rain most of the day.



A waterfall on the way to Whistler.



This area is much nicer than these photos are showing.  Must be the operator.




Great ski resort with plenty of snow still on the upper slopes which we will see tomorrow.



Went to this Irish Pub to get in some training for our visit to Karen and Steven in June !!



The Whistler village which would be a great place in the middle of winter.



Went to a lecture on black bears around Whistler which was very interesting and informative.  This is a photo taken by the presenter himself, of momma bear and her two cubs poised for flight up the closest tree.
