Day 9 ~ Sunday 30th August, 2015

Sad to leave our gorgeous B&B behind, (what an awesome breakfast Toby made for us) we were still excited to be heading ever closer to the real Canadian Rockies.

Here's another photo from last night's sunset from our balcony!

BUT FIRST – we had to go out in search of squirrels! We drove to a little park down the road called Herald Park and we got our big bag of peanuts and we waited….and waited…. Until – Steve yelled out “SQUIRREL” !! There he was, just a little lone squirrel busy going about his businesses gathering all of the pine cones in readiness for winter! Tiny little thing he was.

Steve being the most patient man ever, was happy to sit and wait with the peanuts and the squirrel got closer when he knew we weren't going to hurt him. 1000 photos later, and the squirrel eventually came up onto the table where we were sitting, and he even took a peanut straight out of the bag!! But the highlight was when he ever so gently took a peanut out of my hand!!

HAPPY DAYS FOR VICKI!! :)

We then headed along the Trans Canada Highway East to a town called Golden. We did plan on staying at Revelstoke, but it was pouring with rain & was going to be for the next few days, and with the price of the cabins being what they were (expensive) we decided to push on and just get to the rockies.

We drove until we made it to Golden and past through another time chance in the process. We stayed in a very lush establishment (not) – but eh – had to laugh about it. We got in late and we just wanted a bed for the night, and for the look of the place, it certainly delivered above its promise – bed was very comfortable and the pillows are awesome.

Actually, we haven't had a bad pillow on the trip yet – Australian Hotels/Motels/B&B's could learn a thing or two about pillows! :)
