This morning I feel very nervous and excited at the same time just thinking about what lies ahead for us. I think that the size of the challenge we have taken on has finally sunk in, oh well no turning back now. The fact that I am getting up at 6am has probably shocked my body slightly, as I usually don't rise for at least another few hours.
The weather is beautiful once again and we were packed up and ready to go at 10am, I think we will become a lot faster at getting ready as the days go on. The days ride could not have gone any better. We arrived for lunch in the small village of Agassiz and sat under a group of trees in a very pleasant park in the centre of the village. We relaxed there for a good hour and a half as the sun was beating down. Once we managed to scramble to our feet we set off for the next half of the day. There were very few hills which I feel we should be thankfull for as the rest of British Columbia will be very tough indeed.
We made it to Hope in great time to set up camp and relax for the evening. We are following a route set up by the tour du canada group so we have a map for everyday and a campsite to stay at. This campsite was the most ghetto campsite I have ever seen and there wasn't a soul around except an old man who warned us never to stay at this campsite (or bad things may happen to you, ha ha ha). We didn't know whether to believe him or not but as he was the only person around we did. Anyway we found a visitor information centre and they directed us to a beautiful campsite to settle down for the evening.
