Am @ present sitting in Vancouver airport prior to the flight to Sydney, blessing the fact that I had the foresight to book on the earlier shuttle bus from Whistler as there is a huge world firework competition on tonight in Vancouver, & the later bus would probably have not been easily able to get through!
Rather enjoyed the bus trip down to YVR, as the driver & I struck up conversation & he even slowed down so that I could hopefully get a better photograph of 1 particular bit in which I was really interested!!!
But the sun, reflections on bus window, darn telegraph poles etc.etc. conspired against me!
For my final touristy thing, I finally made it to the fantastic Aborigional Cultural Centre before leaving Whistler & so glad I did.
Was able to get a personal tour with Josh, & to play his drum that he had made!
He also gave me a whirlwind tour of their Nature Trail, & he was able to give me personal stories of friends & family use of the medicinal plants etc., & the sort of canoe he uses etc. etc. A very pleasant & interesting young man. He was also interested in the small things I could tell him re Australia Aborigional culture.
OK folks, keep my plane in the air for me (& all others flying tonight), & will hopefully TALK with you very soon!
PS Sorry can't be bothered to put up that replacement text, for the one Blogger swallowed!!
