I had a good sleep last night. I woke up and stripped the bed and then got the sheets into the laundry to have them washed and dried so Jeanne wouldnt have to make the bed when I left.
Quick shower and then a ‘gather everything up bit of time in the condo. I served Jeanne the last of her pancakes from Rickys and coffee with bacon. We then sat and chatted for a while. I brought up a picture taken of Jeanne when she was about five years old. That brought an exclamation and broad smile to her face! I did a few more errands for her and made sure there wasnt anything she needed to do when I left.
Then, it was time to say goodbye. I left the condo and walked down the hill to the mall where the bus starts its journey to the ferry in Gibsons. The bus takes about 40 mins and costs only $2.00! Its an express route, so its pretty much straight there along Highway #1 with a stop in downtown Gibsons.
was going to wait for. Bonus! I got to Vancouver sooner than I thought. Kristine met me at the ferry terminal. There was a farmers stand selling fresh, handpicked strawberries. Huge and red and full of flavour. $7.00 for the basket. Done deal. Kristine drove to Park Royal Shopping Centre to pick up some Nespresso coffee and I munched on these delightful strawberries and soaked in the beautiful view of the water and mountains.
After Park Royal, she drove me to my hotel and came up quickly. Nice place. Has a little kitchenette and the breakfast is included. Residence Inn Marriott on Hornby Street.
It was arranged that my best bud Jim out for a visit. He drove from Langley/Maple Grove through horrendous backed up traffic on the highway and downtown to get here to see me. I took him for supper to the Bacchus Can you believe hed never had Crme brle before!? We fixed that!
Lovely supper finished, we came back to the hotel where Im staying to down a few pops and chat almost until midnight when it was then time for me to hit the sack and he to drive
