Revelstoke, Golden

This morning we had a delicious and free continental breakfast consisting of half a muffin, an apple and a juice box. We also took 4 individually packed peanut butter and jam for later use.

We drove through Vernon which was a quaint little town. It had walmart, safeway, london drugs, superstore and a KMPG branch.

Somewhere in between sicamous and revelstoke, we came cross the last spike of the railway tracks. Along the way, we decided to go to the Enchanted Forest. We went down the dungeon and there were 3 doors. I peered my head into the 2nd door and all of a sudden, the lights turned on and this skeletor appears. I screamed and jon’s reaction was to run away. The forest had little creatures from fairy tale books e.g. the little woman who lived in a shoe, 3 little pigs, etc. It was okay. Probably won’t go there again but it was fun while it lasted. There were lots of little houses for tiny people which were cute...kinda like the one jon and kate has for the kids.

After we drove to revelstoke national park to climb the meadows in the parkway. we took a nap in the parking lot before we did the climb. Jon was biten by a mosquito. Sad. Anyways, the climb was steep and snowy but it was worth it because the view was breathtaking.

We ate flavoured canned tuna on crackers, an apple and the some muffin. We’ll probably stop by a mcdonalds later for something more.

Our drive to golden has been a pleasant one. We drove through the roger’s pass and saw lots of beautiful glacier mountains. What a sight! We’re at Golden now. We’re staying at dreamcatcher hostel. This place is quite nice. We have our own bathroom!!!! This hostel used to be a rundown bar but was recently renovated and opened up 2 weeks ago. I can still smell the ikea packaging. Across the street there is a ford dealership with 2 old cameros and a mustang. The mustang, according to jon, was a good deal but it’s the car or this trip (and the floor). Jon chose this trip. Also across the street, there is a sobey’s. It’s similar to an iga. We bought cherries, water, pop and cans of tuna. We’re going to sleep early because we’re losing an hour. It’s 11:03pm in golden but 10:03pm in vancouver.
Good night
