This week provided us with a public holiday on Wednesday, as it was Remembrance Day, so Nancy and I took the opportunity for a last minute getaway. We choose to explore a part of Canada that I had not been to before - Harrison Hot Springs and the town of Hope. After an hour and half drive on Tuesday night we made it to Harrison and we spent the next morning enjoying a relaxing dip in the hot springs - just what the doctor ordered. The views from the hotel were stunning as you can see from the photos.
The season is certainly turning to winter as we saw our first snow on the roads out to Hope. We were stopped from seeing the local tourist attraction of Hope Slide due to snow covered roads. The Hope Slide is one of the largest landslides ever recorded in Canada. It occurred in the early hours of January 9th 1965 and killed four people. Although the picture of Nancy posing as Rambo makes up for the disappointment. Snow is also appearing on all the local Vancouver mountains and even the ski slopes are starting to open early. Winter skiing here we come!
