Sneaky Peak

As some of you know I got hold of a Canon 400D SLR camera specifically for this holiday, and I've had people ask for a couple of photo's and trust me I've gone through 1GB on my flash card already. So here you go some photo's just to let you guys know what were up to.




From this height you can see the curvature of the earth. +35,000ft to be exact.












This is a shot from my seat in the Airbus AC330 while over the Rocky Mountains. Outside temperature is -60 degree's. Poor immigrants








I am in car heaven! Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, GTR's and the odd Hummer. Honestly there equliavant of a popular car like the fiesta is a Ford F150 Lightning!

Shannon Falls, we stopped off here on our way to Whistler mountain. It's amazing how clear the water is here.










This is the smaller of the two peaks, still pretty high.












This is whistler, you can't even see the peak as it's surrounded by cloud.









This is the view from near the top. As of December you will be able to go up and over (another 500ft) and across the creek to another mountain peak.
This is the first statue put up for the 2010 winter olympics, it's called an Inniuck and actually means something, not like our 2012 counterpart.






This is what we saw on the way down at about 5800ft. It's such an amazing sight sitting above the clouds. My ear's popped numerous times on the way up.









End of the word and into the Abyss anyone?











We will put some mroe pics up next week, but keep coming back to read our blog :)
