Yes Mark is alive and well although you haven’t heard from me! An early start yesterday for commuter Sky Train into Vancouver then onto the Whistler Mountaineer Train for a fanstastic journey through the North and West Vancouver communities along the coastline skirting the fjord, Howe Inlet – and on up through the mountains to Whistler by lunchtime. Met up with Chris who had come to meet us off the train with his new boss who took us through Whistler Village to the Chateau Whistler where Chris works and we are staying – great room overlooking both Whistler and Blackcomb – bit of a tour of the hotel, village and staff accomodation – so we have a good impression of the set up here – and it is apparent that Chris is doing well, enjoying himself, has no intentions of coming home anytime soon. Dinner with Chris in the poncy dining room and then met a few more of his mates at a favourite bar in the village Cinnamon Bear. Great to be here spending time with Chris.
