On of the assets that I purchased just before we left England was a US/Canada download for the Sat Nav. This has been worth it’s weight in gold, allowing us to plan routes and telling us when road junctions were coming up, allowing us to get in the right lane for junctions. It was of a great help getting in and around Victoria and today in getting to Cache Creek. One minor point was that it elected not to take us up the Fraser River Highway. We overroad this and enjoyed a journey with fantastic scenery.
The first major part of our journey today was the return ferry trip across from Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen. The trip is passed the Gulf Islands and back on to the main land. As we travelled across the causeway we took one last look at the Pacific and Vancouver Island and headed towards Highway 1.Our planned stop was at Bridal Veil Falls, just beyond a place called Chilliwack. Here a just walk took us to a very high waterfall that splayed itself our like a veil at the bottom. The weather has now turned very hot from the 18/19 degrees that we have been used to and we were glad to be under the shelter of trees. The news has said that Canada is now experiencing a heat wave, the temperature exceeding 82degrees Farhenheit over 3 consecutive days.
We reached the Sandeman Inn at Cache Creek at 8:48pm and just in time to for the chap was thinking we were not going to turn up. Our room is adequate but not as good as what we have been used to. The heat does not help, but we are only here for one night
