We enjoyed another delicious breakfast with Wes and Di before saying our goodbyes, and then it was time to head off for Vancouver. Wes advised us to take the fastest route instead of the more scenic route, as he wanted us to avoid the peak hour traffic in Vancouver.

Tony did the first shift and we reached our favourite little town of Hope in 2 hours, where we topped up with petrol, enjoyed another good lunch and coffee at the Blue Moose cafe, walked around in the sunshine to stretch our legs, and then hit the road for the 2 hour trip into Vancouver.

Approaching Vancouver
The speed limits dropped as we got closer to town, and the traffic increased, but we relied on our GPS to guide us to our hotel. We quickly checked in, took our bags to our rooms, and then jumped into the car again. We had to top up the fuel before returning the car to the AVIS downtown location - with only a few circuits around the block due to the one way streets, as well as me not listening to the navigator!
We then walked down to the river to catch the little "pickle boat" across to Granville Island to do some last minute shopping, and then walked back to our hotel for happy hour and dinner. We celebrated our road trip in Canada and our Alaskan cruise and inland adventures, as well as toasting the next leg of our journey, the cruise home!
