Our last week in Trinidad we finished a few small jobs and then went for a hike to a waterfall with 8 other cruisers. This hike was announced on the morning vhf net and billed as a 6 hour round trip hike with not much climbing. The waterfall was nothing much but the hike was along a nice trail following the ocean and had some great views. The others on the hike were from everywhere, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands, America, Austria, Germany and us from Canada and everyone spoke good English. There was 8 women and 2 guys, all the guys were fixing there boats.
July 1st we caught a taxi, arranged by Jessie James, at 3:30am to catch a 6am flight home. We flew home direct from Port of Spain Trinidad to Toronto with West Jet airline. Then we changed planes in Toronto to fly to Vancouver.
Arrived to clear sunny weather near the end of a so called heat wave. Our Tropical acclimatized bodies found it cool.
We rented some temporary accommodation in Vancouver, got a Sim card for our phone and were set to catch up with all the people we have not seen for awhile. The 2nd week here we flew to Whitehorse for 4 days to visit my sister and mother. We stayed at my sister Barbs place for the 4 days. To do something different, Dave, Barbs husband gave us a hi speed ride up the Yukon river and miles canyon in his little speed boat.
Back in Vancouver we are getting things done like my passport renewed, dentist appointments and buying things that we want to take back to Trinidad at the end of August. We had rented a car the first week in Vancouver, but now are getting around by using our bicycles that we brought back from our storage locker.
Our voyage will continue when we fly back to Trinidad Sept 1
