Whistler

After a great friday night of football I was up early and of to the station Saturday morning to catch a bus to Whistler. Wow that place is pretty awesome and I'm jelouse because it must look 100 times better when it snows!!
After I arrived I had a couple of hours to kill before my first activity so I went and booked into the hotel. O.K that is the nicest Best Western or for that matter 3 1/2 star hotel I have ever stayed in. Since I've been living in fairly modest accomodation for the last month I decide to splash out and stay somewhere decent and in the village (so wasn't in the mood for dorming it). Seeing I only played like $130 for the room I wasn't expecting that much but it was really nice, not to mention the fact that I booked a single and got two queen size beds, plus the room had a big tv with cable and a coffee brewer with fresh ground coffee and a bath *sigh*
Right so after I stopped taking photos of the room (shutup I was excited o.k) I headed down to Cougar Mountain adventures where I caughtt a bus (oh and it was one of thoes cool school buses like on tv) to Cougar Mountain where I went ATVing woo!! Oh yeah it was fun!! And oh yeah you all get to see the photo of me crashing through the water!! Not that you can tell it's me under the dusk mask, goggles and helmet but still.
But thats not all this morning I went zip lining in the temperate rain forest which was well bloody scary cause I hate heights, but also extremely cool!! So you pretty much got to go swinging on a flying fox 180 feet of the ground over a river from one tree top to anouther. Except for taking that first step which yeah the guides got abused for a bit the rest was just amazing. Plus in between scaring your pants of you got to learn about sustainabiliy and the forest eco system which was cool.
Finally to cap of the weekend I crammed in a bit of shopping and gift buying before catching the bus back. Wow class will seem boring tommorow!! :D
