Whistle while you play

Rode from Dutch Lake to Whistler along some very nice roads and some others which were the worst surface we've come across this holiday. We arrived feeling a bit battered, ameliorated by seeing a black bear that ran off at the sound of our approach. We soon felt better when the hotel gave us free parking and upgraded us to a deluxe room with giant double jacuzzi and views of Whistler mountain.

Had a stroll round the Olympic village but didn't see Claire Balding in the square where most of the TV coverage started. It's now the MTB season with lots of fancy downhill bikes to rent.

Whistler Village is quite a smart place and still quite lively at this time of year.

Ate very fine dinning, so fine you needed a meal afterwards! Some of the folks and places take themselves a bit seriously but it's hard not to smirk at a 50 year old skate boarder.
