13 May 2016: Prince Rupert

After last night Chantelle woke up feeling a little unwell. Her tummy wasn’t happy so she was pretty keen to not travel too far at all. We decided to not stay another night in this camp as we do have to keep moving  towards Prince Rupert. We have some tyres heading that way and once we have them in hand we shall head for Alaska.

It didn’t take us long to pack up camp and we were trying to be quiet as the girls from the next camp had partied pretty late last night and were still sleeping.

We rode into Terrace where we wanted to buy some mozzie nets and spray as the little buggers have discovered our sweet tasting blood.

Then we were on the road! We have been told that this ride from Terrace to Rupert is stunning! Boy was it ever!

The road hugged the river pretty well all the way and the sun shone down with plenty of warmth. A perfect riding day!

We made a pit stop at a rest area where we cooked up some moose burgers given to us by Grahame.

We were contemplating camping here too as it was a lovely spot but we are unsure of the fines for camping in a day use area. Not that there was anyone else there anyway.

So we pushed on. The road was mesmerising and we didn’t mind having to ride a bit more!

We were looking for free camps as we went but not knowing the area to well we seemed to end up in rubbish dumps or dead end roads near people's homes. So we ended up riding all the way to Rupert and the only RV park in town. Oh well! We have had an invite to stay with Dean and Janettes daughter and her boyfriend here so we will look them up tomorrow and see if they are in town.

We will be spending a few days in town so there may be one or two days of no blog if we end up just lazing around on a beach!
