Day 18 – Whistler

Today was really our last full day in Canada – so we decided to take a day trip a few hours up the road to Whistler. Whistler is a great little town – however they should probably call it “Little Sydney” because all you could hear was Australian accents.

Obviously as it was summer there wasn’t much snow around. The mountains and ski lifts had been taken over by at least 500 mountain bikers taking advantage of the perfect weather.

We both agree that Whistler would be a great place to come back to in the winter. They are going to host a lot of the alpine events of the 2010 Winter Olympics there… so we made sure we checked out the ridiculously overpriced merchandise, and the visitor centre.

In hindsight, I would have looked much more aerodynamic if I took my camera bag off!
