Why Contortionist Thin

Canada - Vancouver & -Island


Hey hey ... The first regards from Canada!

I am of course well-landed in Vancouver. During a stop in Houston, USA could U.S. fellow Americans the same again left a 'good' impression on the security controls. I like you, unfortunately, still not ;-)

Vancouver is a great city! It is located right on the sea, many beaches, behind which are the mountains, multicultural people, very friendly, open people, seasons similar to ours ... Unfortunately, only 'clean' expensive! After a few days sightseeing, chilling in Stanley Park and hike on the Grouse Mountain, I followed the recommendations of other travelers ... Off to Vancouver
Iceland. The island is 450km long and well about 100km wide, so huge. On the one hand, there are beautiful beaches, on the other hand, salt water lakes and Mountains in the background ... real smart. And I was lucky and have 3 Canadian made, which I was able to join the Seekayakfahren. On the island, there are countless small and bigger Bars migrates along the coast or through the "jungle". A little tip ... the famous 'Tofino' is great but expensive and abnormal buissy!

After the first week I was back in Vancouver again to visit 'Olivia' (which I met in Chile). She has shown me some of Vancouver 'local view' and we were celebrating since long time well ;-)
Thank you so much Olivia! What an awesome weekend with you and Rosa! Thx & great!

And on goes off to Whistler . Here I meet the Mexico-Reisegefaehrten by Kuno, Joslyn. He lives in a small Quebec community and takes me for a few days. I will come again a little away from the tourists and get good tips from the locals.
Joslin and Friends, thank you for the hospitable time in your house!
Whistler is quite touristy, but very cool nature, in the mountains. The first day I am going with Lisa, a paddler dt, a little hiking chillin at the lake, we swim and make contact with the local paddlers. Today I was finally with Max (from Montreal) to WW III paddling. And it looks like is the next Days nor more paddling ;-) Then there is a huge horny bike park, I have to definitely make a few runs. And 1-2 day hikes as well as glaciers are still on the to-do list.

After the adventures in the Mexican culture, I must admit that there almost a little 'boring' is ... not really, but in South America and Mexico, every day is an adventure, since so many things work differently or not as you think. This is very relaxed. The people and the landscape reminds me a little of Norway, only everything bigger ... a car would be cool, then one could enjoy nature even more ...

You see, it is exciting again, great people, great country ... I'm looking forward to the next 3 weeks before it goes to New York.

Many Greetings from Canada ... January
