Op 4 april vertrekken we voor twee weken naar Canada om met een camper naar de Rockies te reizen. Het is nog winter dus wordt het een sneeuwvakantie. Meestal zoeken we de zon op maar deze keer wordt het dus koude en sneeuw. Ik toch hoop dat we af en toe kunnen genieten van een eerste lentezonnetje.

We vertrekken zaterdag naar Amsterdam, voor mij de eerste keer dat ik Amsterdam bezoek. 's avonds overnachten we in een Airport hotel waar we meteen onze auto twee weken mogen achterlaten.
Zondagmorgen nemen we de vlucht naar London - via tussenstop in Toronto - om uiteindelijk om 19u30 plaatsenlijke tijd in Vancouver te landen.
Vooraleer je met een RV in Canada mag rijden, moet je eerst 1 nacht in een hotel slapen. Dus overnachten we terug in een Airport hotel Travelodge. In de namiddag pikken we de camper op en rijden we naar ons eerste Provincial Park.

On the 4th of April we leave for a two week holiday in the Canadian Rockies; Although we're used to travel to places with abundant sunshine, this time cold weather and snow will be more likely. We do hope that we may enjoy some spring sunshine.

On Saturday the 4th of April we leave for Amsterdam, a city I've never visited before. We stay at an airport hotel, quite comfortable since we can leave our car for two weeks at the hotel. Sunday morning we fly to London, from there to Toronto, to arrive at last in Vancouver. When you rent a camper RV in Canada you have to stay one night in a hotel before you can pick up your camper RV. So again we stay the night in an airport hotel Travelodge. On Monday we pick up our motorhome and we head towards our first provincial park.
