We left the camping site in Surrey early'ish in the morning bound for Whistler. Well when I say early'ish it would have been around 9 or 10am. For those playing at home Whistler is a ski town and was on the must visit places for Kim. Me on the other hand is more of a 'I'll get suited up to ski but sit in the bar all day' kinda guy. We also wanted to head this way as its meant to be an area where the Bald Eagle nest and breed and they are on the list of animals we want to see. The drive to Whistler is about 2 hours so with Freddie that turned out to be more like 3 hours. If you have ever seen 'The Simpsons Movie' where Homer takes the family to Alaska you will know what the scenery on this drive was like its pretty amazing.
On the way there we couldn't find this "breeding" ground for the so called Bald Eagle. We finally made it to Whistler around the afternoon and decided to go for a wander around the village before finding a place to stay. Like I said I'm not into skiing never been before and probably never will but I must say this town almost got me excited to do so. At one end of the village are ski lifts that takes you up either of the mountains and then you just ski right down to the village again take your ski's off and walk about 5 metres into a near by bar.

The next day we decided to go find these eagles and drove to a place called Brackendale to look for where these so called eagles nest. After driving around for what seems like forever and having to do u-turns on native land. We finally found a small section of a river bank called Eagle Run. We walked up and down this bank looking across the river trying to find the so called eagle with no luck. When I made a joke to Kim saying that I bet you they are all sitting in a tree behind us making fun of us. Well when I turned around I saw one lone eagle sitting in a tree behind us. Personally I thought it was a robot as it just sat there and every so often its head would turn and when we went for lunch at a pub/cafe' on the bank and had yummy Honey Garlic Chicken Nibbles. It was still sitting in the tree about an hour later, still just turning its head but I suppose we saw one and that's all the robot was invented for. We headed back to Whistler to get some rest as the next day something very exciting was going to happen ....
