Lost In Whistler

Monday, September 11th

Whistler at last. I was looking forward to some luxury and the Westin Resort and Spa certainly met my expectations.

A blue sky frames the moutain peaks
The September sun warms our bathing suit clad bodies
Latin American music fills the air
We're still drying off from the dip in the pool and hot tub
Martini in hand I contemplate life through a cluster of purple petunias
I give up on contemplating life and just enjoy this relaxed moment
Tomorrow we hop on the bikes for some exploring and exercise

Hungary - Paprika, Dike Roads and Bumpy Trails

Country #6 - Hungary Bumpy Trails Take Me Home September 26 to October 6, 2015 Cycling distance in Hungary: 488km's Total cycling distance: 1628km's Hungarian Border Crossing After sadly leaving the amazing Oksana, Jan and Andrei in Bratislava, we quickly reached the Hungarian border with tailwinds pushing us along the way. I swear the wind turns into the exact opposite direction each time we change travel direction ourselves. But today the wind gods were smiling on us and rewarding us with some very welcome winds at our backs. Of course because of this wretched Schengen Area Agreement we once more did not get a stamp in our passport. In fact there isn't really a border crossing in the "traditional" sense.
