[TWGR 2013 North America trip] Road to Revelstoke

Flaine outing Flaine outing

Wake up at 6, small breakfast and on the road to Revelstoke. It is a beautiful sunny day and the road is in excellent condition.

The road offers scenic views and it is a real pleasure to smoothly drive on the Coquihalla highway. I stopped to eat at Kamloops and then at Blind Bay to take a few pics.

A few kilometers before Revelstoke, I saw the coolest Liquor store I've ever seen... the Burner.

[TWGR 2013 North America] Departure

Flaine outing

 

Time to leave Geneva. I woke up at 5 and the plane to Frankfurt took off on time at 8:15. A good day to leave Switzerland as it was raining... I caught my connection in Frankfurt without any issue and the flight to Vancouver was very confortable. I slept only 15 minutes...

The view on the Groenland was absolutely beautiful.

It was 12:30 local time when we arrived at Vancouver and the sun was shining. I took my car, a Dodge Journey and was surpised by the traffic... so fluent, so cool to drive in this town!
