Checked in without a problem, went to the departure gate when called; so far so good. Problem! Flight delayed due to technical problems. Will be given more information at 12:30, an hour and forty minutes after we should have left.
I'm so excited about the trip I just want to be there. I'm finding it hard to smile right now. I'm sure I'll get there eventually. I need to find somewhere to charge my phone now, then I think I'll go and find someone to talk to.
Phone charged! Now I have to return to the departure lounge.
The plane eventually left at 14:35 which means I'll be late getting to Vancouver, eta 15:30 local time.
The flight was very boring, the man I was sitting next to clearly didn't want to chat and my TV screen was slightly faulty so that wasn't much fun either.
The bike was ready to go apart from a power socket to charge my phone and camera. I had brought the wires with me so the guy at the shop kindly connected it to the battery for me.
I followed Brian to the hotel (Holiday Inn Express) that his girlfriend Michelle had booked for us. The hotel was good, it even had a pool although we didn't get a chance to use it. The only problem was our room only had a double bed!
We went out to eat at a Sushi Bar, very nice it was too! On the way back to the hotel Brian was transformed from hardened adventurer to clean shaven and haircut at the local barbers.
I didn't sleep much unfortunately, too excited about the journey ahead.
