Nobody accosted us for payment this morning for our camping site. It’s still the shoulder season and things will change from 1st June? But maybe they wont, as you could say it’s a pretty laid back part of the world, up here. The name Tok (pronounced Toke, short for Tokyo)…
Looking out the back window this morning there is a huge cruise ship, the Westerdam, of the Holland America Line, 100m from us. It’s tethered and will discharge it’s thousands of passengers into this tiny village more than doubling the population! 9.30am and Goodbye Haines and our camp beside…
A leisurely morning before packing up and heading back into Skagway. Our first job is to update the blog and find out about getting to Juneau for the day. There is a tour that leaves Haines for Juneau leaving tomorrow morning at 8.30am and returning at 7.30pm. Jen has bought…
great place to camp last night. Well away from the road and flat. It’s a popular place by the looks of it, with the number of stone fire circles and ashes. The day dawned fine, a relief from the cold wet day of yesterday. The peaks surrounding us are still…

Jeepers it was cold last night. About 2deg in the cabin. We waited till it had warmed a bit before climbing out of bed in the morning. Fortunately we were stopped early yesterday and there were only a few other campers in the large area provided just outside Lake Louise. …
It didn’t take too much persuading for Jan & Bruce to get us to stay another day. Made sense too and allowed us to get to see some of the city and update our blog!. Particularly when the temperature is around 5deg and its raining steadily outside. Our hosts were…
Wed 15th May. Day 16 WOW!! What a sleep. Nine hours straight. As Jen mentioned we found a Provincial Park Camping place last night that was almost deserted. Brilliant. On the road by 9.30am. Pretty good for us. We are now parked close to the entrance of an avalanche shelter…
3rd to 10th May. Days 4 to 11. It’s been a week or so since the last update and much has happened. All positive though and we are on track to hit the road on Monday morning at 7am. There is a date to keep in Squamish, (a commercial town…
