Driving to Calgary
On Christmas Eve I picked up the car (later named Louise) from the airport with Pierre. At first it was scary sitting in the front right seat (the driver’s side in the UK, and I can’t drive), but we spent the afternoon driving around by going to Wreck Beach and Simon Fraser University (SFU) to see the sunset over Vancouver.
At 6:20am today (Christmas Day) we left the UBC campus and drove towards Alberta. 200km into the trip Felicia realised she forgot her handbag in, with the details of our accommodation for every night and her ID (she booked them all). The roads were safe here and we made it to Days Inn, Calgary, about 8pm (actually 9pm local time).
All the bars and restaurants were closed on Christmas evening, except the cinema which had a Tim Horton’s and Burger King. We had stopped at a nice place about 4pm anyway. Tomorrow we spend the day in Calgary and another night here, hopefully more stuff will be open.

The weather is predicted to be sunny and a low of -10 degrees C for the whole week, which is good as it made the road clear and safe but loads of old snow surrounding the roads.
It’s good to kno where you are and that hmmm evrything going to plan (even if you don’t have the plan with you!)
That sounds like an interesting way to spend Christmas!
Stu got me (us) a new big toastie maker! Ha.
I had a good time in Kent and got Stu and his dad (+ dog) to take me for a walk to see the beach.
