Back to BC

It was a long and crowded bus journey back to Vancouver, 14 hours and the bus was full. Why 50 other people would want to get a bus overnight, I didn't invite them so I don't they were there.
Anyway, I had arranged to go climbing again in Squamish with a Meet Up group the next day, it was good to get another days climbing in and justify lugging the climbing stuff around all month. Plus having a base in Vancouver at Jim and Chrissy's place was very helpful as I could plan my departure from Canada and do some research into the America part of the trip.
I arrived not as tired as I expected and thankfully I had a seat that fully reclined and stayed there, although after 4 hours or so the seat had turned to concrete so I used my down jacket for extra padding. It was a 6.40pm departure and it turned out a girl from my dorm was travelling on the bus too, it was nice to have a friendly face to chat to for a bit before watching a film out the window called Grasslands. Fast forward umpteen hours and we're in Vancouver again.
Jim was working but Chrissy was around so we went over to an area called Jericho beach which was very nice, a lovely grassy park area next to a big long wide sandy beach. This called for an Oreo Cookie ice cream, nom nom.

The next day was rock climbing day back in Squamish, it was quite cold and everyone agreed May had been much better than June, and this June was the worst June for a while, typical isn't it, go to the other side of the planet and the weather's still poop. Still the climbing was good, even though it was a strange slab/ crack combo, it was great to be climbing again with a bunch of new people, shame I wasn't staying longer as I felt at home with this crowd. Still the USA beckons...
