Canada Tour - Vancouver - Sun Peaks.(Approx 415 klm drive).

We departed Adelaide for a 4.5hour flight to Auckland with Air New Zealand. Auckland airport was very hectic.  We had a connection to Vancouver, which was a 13 hour flight. The flight was delayed by 45 minutes, due to an electrical problem. This flight would have be one of the roughest we have done. Very little sleep. Still we arrived safe, picked up our hire car. No signs to say which side of the road to drive on! lol and I kept trying to get in the driver's seat.
We made our way to the Empire Landmark in downtown Vancouver. Excellent location, very seventies hotel! We took a walk down to the harbour front and stopped for a beer and dinner.

Up early for our trip to Sun Peaks, approximately 430 klm drive.  At this stage we had no map and got a little lost heading out of the city, eventually we were on the right road and pulled over at Chilliwack for breakfast and to buy a map book. We also crossed a toll bridge, which was lovely, unfortunately there was no where to pay, still we have 7 days to pay, Mmmmmmm if only we knew the name of the bridge?

Drove on to Kamloops, after looking at the scenery, the utes and the trailers. Arrived at Sun Peaks about 1400, to find our hotel Coast Sundance Lodge, which is fantastic along with this ski resort. Took a walk around town and enjoyed the sun shine along with our beers.  We saw whitetail deer, preary dogs, Eagles & Mule Deers.
