Woke after a great sleep. We had a super breakfast made by Tina - very continental as Tina is Austrian, delicious! After leaving the guesthouse E & I went for an explore of Smithers. It is a very Dutch/Swiss sort of place, the only thing missing was David Lynch. All very orderly and clean and deserted. Popped into the museum as I had read about a US bomber + atomic weapon that had crashed near here in mysterious circumstances in 1947 or thereabouts. The museum director Fergus (new best friend) gave a us personal talk about the incident. What a superb guy, he left Dublin at 19 and now at 62 seems very settled in Smithers, anyway he is doing a great job and has a new museum in the pipeline. The other interesting(!) thing we found out there is that egg boxes were invented in Smithers (personally sceptical) - every day a school day!
Weather was pretty bad on the drive with torrential rain and difficult driving conditions but all coped extremely well with by one of Europe's finest. Can you tell in these entries where the Jack and ice starts to take effect?
Arrived safely in Prince George. Martin's advice was that it was best to arrive in PG in darkness and he may have a point! The hotel we are in, Sandman Signature, is unbelievably luxurious and only $95 per night. We have decided to eat here as it is still raining, hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow for the journey to Jasper.
