Day 38 - Prince George

As we are heading toward Terrace and Prince George is about half way we decided to stay at my best friend James’s place for the night. We will head to Terrace in the morning and come back to PG for the weekend to visit some more. In the meantime it’s still good to see James and his girlfriend Jess again, as we used to live with them in Nanaimo. The drive from Pembina River to Prince George is really nice, taking you through the Rocky Mountains, Jasper, Mt. Robson park and many other great areas. Wildlife was surprisingly scarce; we only saw two groups of Mountain Goats for the entire drive, and no Elk, Moose or anything else. Nicola enjoyed her tour of Prince George as James and Jess took us around to see the town and we went out for a really nice dinner at a great Mediterranean Restaurant downtown. We also got to drive by the house James just bought as well. We couldn’t see the inside because he doesn’t have possession for another few weeks, but it’s exciting to see his new project. Now he’ll be able to work on a house that is actually his as apposed to helping me work on my house all the time. We had a good swim in James’s mom’s pool and enjoyed the huge 15 man hot tub as well. This is a just a preview for us as we will back for a few days on the weekend to really take it in.

The Rockies

Nice and slow guys, the limit is 70 here

More great views through Jasper National Park

Back in BC! Though we can't say it's the best place on earth (yet), we now know it's the best place in Canada
