Speed: 24.8km/h
Weather: Cloudy, sunny breaks in the afternoon :)
Nothing like chilli, tiramisu and beers to cap off a great first day on the road! We had a bit of a lazy start at just before 9 after Naiely and Frank came over in the morning. After dodging through many little rocks in the shoulder throughout the Tri Cities we were treated to a less busy much more enjoyable and scenic Lougheed Highway in the Fraser Valley. Said goodbye to Frank in Maple Ridge and we made fast ground thanks to the minimal changes in elevation. Highlights included the trains scaring our pants off, watching a bald eagle go at a crow, and running into Nima on his way to Harrison! We stopped in Agassiz for lunch at a cute little cafe before arriving in Hope just after 4 and met our Couchsurfing host Nat at his bookstore. There were two other hitchhiker from Croatia and Germany who are travelling without money that stayed with us. Needless to say we had very interesting conversations about dumpster diving and their ways of life.
