Superb day so we drive on Highway 99 To Whistler 2010 Olympic Village in the Callaghan Valley, venue for the Biathlon,Nordic Skiing and the Ski Jump.
Short trip further to the impressive Branywise Falls then back to Whistler for yet another meal at Citta- a tuna melt of gigantic proportions.
Next stop is the Whistler Museum which features sections on Dave Murray, the Canadian Skier who died of a melanoma at 37 and was part of the famous Crazy Kanucks skiing team.
Nearby is the very moving tribute from the people of Whistler to the luger from Kazakstan who died in the Olympics earlier this year.
Decide to take a bear-watching tour up the Whistler Mountain with Michael Allan, a very well-known bear expert. Quite apart from the scenery from 5000 ft up which is spectacular we do manage 14 bear and 5 deer sightings, some at very close quarters.
Early to bed after tiring but very rewarding day.
Cheers
The Obese Ferret.
