Fraser Shore Park - Floating logs and geo-caching

This river (Fraser River) is still used as a way to get logs transported.  They are floated down the river instead of being taken on logging trucks.  In the olden days someone used to travel down the river on the logs to make sure they went to the right place. Check out this little video about it.

This is another picture of the logs floating past the train station.

We had some fun along the river geo-caching.  We even found one that was glued to a rock!

This is my niece Sabine.

Flying to Vancouver

Guess who kept me company on the first flight from Hokitika to Christchurch!

So, as I say in the video (if it worked) I left Auckland at 8pm on Friday.  After a long flight I was really glad to be in sunny Canada.  Have a look at the photo below of the time I arrived in Vancouver.  (it's in French!)

Travel time

Here is a math problem for you!!

If I fly from NZ to Vancouver at 1pm on Tuesday, and it takes 13 hours to get there, what time will it be in Vancouver when I arrive?

(hint - I will be travelling into a different time zone!)

First Destination...

Wow!  You came up with some great places to visit!  Portia - Swaziland was an interesting choice.  Why did you think I might go there?

My first destination is Vancouver Canada!  So if you guessed Canada you can give yourself 5 house points :)  (no cheating!)

 Have a click around the net and see what there is to do in Vancouver.  If you find something that looks good, let me know in the comments below.
