Prince Rupert, BC - 05/08/2005

Still In Canada and our first glimpse of the landscape of the `Inside Passage'.   We travel on a small thirty-seven seat Hawk Air flight from Vancouver to Prince Rupert.  After a long wait at the tiny Prince Rupert Airport our bus sets off for the drive into town.  We cannot understand why our driver stops  and pulls over after about five minutes.  Some of the Hawk Air staff get off and we are told it is OK for us to get off too.  Imagine our surprise as we walk around the corner to be greeted by this view.  We are wowed.  Two eagles soar over the bay to our left and grey clouds mass over the hills adding  to the grandeur of the setting.
