Leave unit as planned by 8.00 and head towards Pemberton on a drizzly,misty morning. In no way detracts from the scenery which is as stunning as ever. Visit Nairn Falls and stop for the obligatory coffee, this time at McDonalds and as usual the coffee is crap. The next section covers some of the most hair-raising and speccy scenery between Pemberton and Lillooet. Cayoosh River Canyon awe-inspiring. Bert doing his Juan Fangio bit,drop down to river far too deep even from my usual vantage point hiding behind the driver on the side away from the edge.
Great lunch at Grammy's ,under new ownership and with a first- day- on- the- job waitress totally panic-stricken by the flood of people attracted by the fantastic food on offer. G is introduced to Perogies, a form of steamed dough with filling, a cross between ravioli and samosa.
B now driving more serenely through the very arid area to Cache Creek ,reminiscent of the Almeria area of Spain.
Arrive at Kamloops by 4.00 and check into the Arcadia Motel. Motel comfortable if basic and Kamloops a drab commercial town, rather a let-down after the beauty of the previous days.
Introduce Bert to the delights of the Denny's restaurant chain which always offers good standard fare.
Finish off the day trying to catch up on blogs.
Cheers
The Obese Ferret.
