Goodbye Camper

Well today we said goodbye to our home for the last 5 weeks, and its done us proud or rather we've done it proud - no problems and 4580kms on the clock synopsis: it takes a while for it to warm up on cool mornings and also turns over slower if you've left it for a few days without running. Its a b!tch on diesel especially as diesel costs more here than gas by about 10c a litre about $130 for a full tank, recommendation save on gas get yourself a tent and a nice hybrid :) Still you won't get a piping hot shower in the frosty mornings and have a fully stocked fridge freezer where you can cook yourself anything from Hotdogs to Lasagna with oven roasted Garlic bread for the foreigners.
After leaving Telegraph Cove we headed back down Vancouver Island, staying a night in Qualicum Bay and then Nanaimo, before catching the ferry from Departure Bay over to Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver.
There we stayed at Capilano for 3 nights and walked into town over the Lions Gate Bridge and through Stanley Park, lovely walk.
It finally rained as we were finishing up on Vancouver Island and it definatley feels like Autumn/Fall is here although we have been lucky with the days in Vancouver so far.
Now we are back in a hostel for a couple of nights, seeing the sights of Vancouver again, love this place, and tying up loose ends before heading back to London.

don't worry about the diesel my boy, it is much more efficient than petrol, so would havebeen cheaper

Sam's a bit of salesman, just like the folk at All Drive.

If only you could have run the thing on the methane produced from all that hot dog eating.
