On the way finally...
So we dumped our van in Canmore...turns out that as well as the fuel pump there were major oil leaks and some coil thing wasn't sparking in the distributor so we cut our losses and went to the car yard at night, stripped it of our worldly possessions, took some final photos and dumped it there...Fuck you Bow Valley Ford we're not paying anything more for that piece of crap...
Anyways, after being stuck at the manor for another few days, being the some of the last Nakiska kids there, we were frantically searching for a hire car, there being none available in the whole of Calgary, let alone one wayers, we were about to buy flights when good old Travelocity came to the rescue with a hire car that would cost less than flights and allow us to do the Banff/Jasper National park drive that we intended on doing from the start...
Ends up we're driving a Lincoln town car back to Vancouver! What a tank! But, a luxurious tank...auto everything, leather (heated) seats and wood panelling, will tell you how far you've got until you run out of fuel, your avergae fuel consumption and everything else that you did or didn't want to know...so we ended up having a very comfortable drive over here...
Tomorrow we leave for Coachella, it's a bit exciting!
Not looking forward to the full body cavity search...but am looking forward to seeing a bunch of bands.
So plans for after this...
We're gonna take a greyhound back up to vancouver, hang about for a few days, maybe go up to Whistler cos I just haven't done enough snowboarding yet...
We booked our Contiki last night which starts in London goes to Amsterdam, Austria, through the Swiss Alps and ends up in Paris. From there we head to Barcelona and to the Prima Vera Sound music Festival with the most awesome line up, actually putting Coachella to shame this year, then back to Frankfurt and then to Berlin, probably hang out for a week or so there then to Frankfurt again to get to Thailand...
Got to go catch a plane now...I think our hotel in Palm Springs has data ports so hopefully on a better connection...
