The sun was shining on the Sunshine Coast when we awoke in Sechelt.

We strolled over to a local coffee shop for breakfast. Sat in the sun.

Mom was impressed with the friendly and chatty Sechelt locals. One shopkeep offered to print some documents for us. For free.

We took a sidetrip to Porpoise Bay to check out the option to sea kayak Porpoise Bay Provincial Park. Looks good to me.

Next was Gibson’s.

This was my 3rd time in 2014 traveling the Sea to Sky Highway. On the advice of a tourist information guy we grabbed a hotel in Squamish, built new for the 2010 Olympics.

We continued up to Whistler for a walking tour.

Nice afternoon. The mountain bikers were just coming off the hill, hitting the pubs.

Another excellent day on the Sunshine Circuit.

We had a hot tub. Then ordered in Pizza to go with our wine. 🙂
