Rain

Today it rained. Not all of the day, but a big chunk. We woke early and drove north of Vancouver on the sea to sky highway 99. We stopped in Squamish and had a look around. I could see that the nature was amazing with high mountains and sheer cliff faces, but the town itself wasn't much. We headed north to Whistler and stopped off on the way at Brandywine Falls for a walk and a look at the waterfalls. We took a pretty challenging path through dense forest to a rope bridge, then took the main trail back to the car park. All in all about 10kms. We saw some pretty fresh bear droppings, so I was making as much noise as possible on the way down. We then drove onto Whistler and tried to book into the campsite Unfortunately it was full, so we ended up driving back almost 60kms towards Squamish until we found a nice campsite in the woods. Now we've eaten and its time to wind down for the evening. The weather forecast is looking better for the coming days, so fingers crossed.
