Sunday June 26 (Whistler)

I had planned to do the Peak 2 Peak today but overslept very badly, so it was not worth going up!! I obviously needed the sleep, lol!!

It was a beautiful day, lots of sunshine and blue skies and pleasantly warm. I went to Starbucks and grabbed a coffee and some food then wandered round the village. 

I found the other Starbucks and some particular shops with sales so purchased a couple of items plus a few souvenirs. I reckon if you took away hotels, eating/drinking places, bike shops and souvenir shops there would be noting left, lol!!! 

I will do the Peak 2 Peak tomorrow and will try and catch the first gondolas which goes up at 10 am. This is because there is the possibility of thunderstorms in the afternoon so I will definitely need to set my alarm tomorrow!

I was amazed at the number of bikes around and a lot of downhill people. There were different levels and people were going up on the chair lifts. Their bikes were on the chair lift in front of them. There were different courses for them to descend on and they did go quite a way up the mountain. I had not realised that Whistler was such a Mecca for bikies in the summer! I spoke to a couple of chaps who are holidaying from England, they have been mountain biking every day for five days, their wrists in particular have had enough!

I then found a cafe and ordered an egg salad roll to take back to my room for tea, it was absolutely delicious and had lots of other salad items as well, money well spent!
