Day 19
: Whistlers on the Kettle railroad.
Saturday 10th August 2013
We would have loved an easy start to our day at Kelowna's Accent Inn, I missed a go in the Laundry & a swim in their lovely pool.. Another crack of dawn start, off to cycle the kettle railroad..The only instruction " follow the straight , flat railroad" Ian took a pic anyway.
3 Super fit cyclists we met!
Ian looks like a gnome!
The route has been lovingly restored by a local restoration society, they added these usefull pull in / view points.
Just to scare you guys... these are the trails we cycled across. We could see them behind as we cycled on. They are the remains of the tressles of an old railroad track :)
Min & Ian reach the 7.5 km point , time to cycle back .
My intrepid explorers risk life & limb xx
A nice older man took our photograph, he had a lovely doggy too... However he clearly didn't realise Ian had a head!
The trail sent us into a spooky tunnel which mum insisted on making ghost noises in to try and scare us in... However we could see light at the end :P
A picnic at Marquart Lake with the local meer cat/ prairie dog population.
Marquart or Mosquito Lake!
Another 6hr+ drive & Ian gets us to our ski house in Whistler.
We venture into the village for Dinner @ the longhorn Saloon & Grill..we are 20 yrs too old & Hollie 10 yrs too young for the mad Saturday night crowd.
Good night faithful reader..Jens photo's of Marmite look like he's having more fun than us !! xxx
