It's 6:52am on Tuesday and found out were staying at a place called Cloverdale which is the film set for Smallville!
Yesterday we went to a place called White Rock, from at the end of the pier you can see Washington state, USA. Went to a couple of the shops and was already confused by there prices. Everything (apart from Gas) is priced up before tax, food and essentials is 7% and luxury's are 14%. Lets just say everything is half the price over here!
After White Rock we headed to the largest Wal-Mart in Canada. It was huge! They did everything from groceries to paint mixing and a hair salon to car servicing!
We headed back home with some goodies (Monster energy drink is lethal stuff, you can only have one a day!) and a had a BBQ with some lovely burgers, corn on the cob, beans etc.
One thing Sally and I have noticed is car prices. Now the Mustang GT500 over in the uk is around 40k pounds, over here $30k so around 15-20k pounds. Gas prices are half of the uk! at $1.43 thats 70p a litre! Every drive has a V8 truck or hot rod sitting in it.
Today were off to Whistler Mountain, which is about a 2hr drive but will update later possibly with pics.
