Whitehorse pt.I

I made it to Whitehorse. As soon as I got of the plane I was invited to join a little climbing trip. 
Jo and Alex discussing some climbing lines.
Alex is one of Tamara's sons, our very kindly host in Whitehorse
Jo in the wall. He will canoe down the Yukon with me and four other Germans; starting tomorrow.
Alex hanging around. Even though it doesn't look like it in the picture, he was the one who mastered the trickiest line this afternoon.
Manu, one of Alex's friends, doing stuff.
I went mountain biking with Jo and David the next day. David will also join our canoe trip.
Whitehorse has some amazing trails to offer ...
... and bears. This fellow sniffed around our neighbour's house.

Thanks to Tanja for most of these pictures!

Mainland

Last week, we left Vancouver Island ...
... and said "Hi" to Vancouver for another time. 
We found a good spot with an amazing view over the harbour and with Downtown in the background. After two days we went back to Whistler ... 
... where Hansi found a room. That's the view from his balcony. Seems to be a good head quarter for the next months. And so is Whistler. We had really good times in the skate park, at the lakes and on the bikes. 
Have fun there!
I don't know how, but I was able to get all my stuff packed!
Today, I hitch hiked to Vancouver with all that luggage. My 'driver' invited me to have some beers and a self-made Polish pea soup at his place. We had very good conversations about soccer, European history, life, hunting and - of course - beer. 
Travelling at its best side!
After a nice day in Vancouver, I arrived at the airport eventually.
Next stop: YUKON

Tofino

Finally, we headed to Tofino. Our first stop was another lake. It may look boring to drive from lake to lake, BUT
it isn't ! 
Kennedy Lake, with a rainbow. We couldn't find any treasure chest ...
... but anyway, as a wise human once said: "good food is one of the most important things in life". It has to be good food for human though!
Even though Moritz broke his foot and was forced to relax, he showed us awesome spots in and around Tofino 
This muddy hike was one of his suggestions ... 
... and one of our favourites.
Pretty nice view from the top of the hike, eh!?
There are no pictures of Hansi and me skateboarding Tofino's super fun skatepark, so I hope this one transports enough action for you.
