Vanouver to Mission

After the hectic adventures in Vancouver and we made it to Surrey to stay with Mike's uncle. They were superb hosts and fed us very well, we ate all the pasta they made, very delicious. Next day we waved goodbye and set of on the real journey. This was the true start to our trip across the nation. After going through the outskirts of Surrey through some nice farm like scenery we made it to the Albion ferry. This is a free ferry that crosses a 50 m river, a nice 5 min rest. I hear they are to replace it with a bridge as it is doesn't make sense to have such a short haul ferry. We then continued biking on to Mission, where we bought and ate lunch outside a visitor info centre. After lunch we continued through the gorgeous Fraser Valley to Kilby Park. This is where we camped. It looked like an RV parking lot, but we were too lazy to look for another place.


Calgary was pretty wild with the stampede and all so I didn't have much time to update. Cheers for now, we are off to Drumheller today to check out the Badlands.
