AT PANORAMA RESORT!
Hey guys! Been a while since our last post, we apologise if anyone of you might have been missing us :P
The main issue has been the fact that we dont have a stable internet connection, yet.
We are currently sitting in our computer room at the resort.
To get you updated on our trip we have to rewind 2days, to the 13th, local time.
Our stay in Vancouver was over and it was time for us to move on!
It was quite a trip, as it is around 900km, and we did it on bus. As the Swedes we are we arrived at the station one hour prior to the departure even tho we already had bought the tickets in advance. We went on a greyhound bus, which is actually really great.
The total trip from Vancouver to Golden took us 11 hours, and an additional 40CAD, as we had alot of bags.
Once we arrived in Golden we had to switch bus to a local company, but we had the time to get some breakfast and enjoy the nice weather (rain).
After some time on the bus it got bright enough so that we could actually see stuff outside the bus.
What a sight IT WAS! Can you imagine having these great mountains on both sides of the bus? I know there are mountains in northern Sweden, but these had a whole different feeling, these just kept on going for ever!
At 9 oclock in the morning the 14th we arrived in Invermere, the city closest to our resort. There was already a taxi waiting for us, and the driver was really great.
He drove us to the Central Check In, where we could get our keys, and we were off to our staff accommodation.
Our first encounter with the people in the house next to our was "Hey! Neeewbiies!" and this cute blonde girl walked up to us and greeted us, unfortunately we havnt seen much of them since, as its the house next to ours and the weather has been shit.
The accommodation is quite alright, you can see it has been used alot, but what else can you expect? Oh, Mathias and I are alone in our unit, kind of sad as we wanted to meet people, but its fine as we get time to settle in.
It is not like there is noone to meet:P
Today, the 15th, was our first day of work. The housekeeping department was located underneath the Administration. At first it looked kinda crappy, but the people and the feeling turned out to be great, we only got to really talk to 3 or 4 guys at the department today, but it looks like we are gonna have alot of fun here!
Fun info:
We got a free soda machine!
Things that we find have to be kept at the department for some time, then "finders, keepers"!
Greed IS good! Food that we find once ppl have checked out belongs to us! MUHAHAHA!
Some people actually make 20CAD/hour and more!
Anyway, the plan is to get the connection going asap + get down to Invermere asap (monday prolly as we have monday off), we would have to buy a cpl of things, for instance Niklas is lacking a blanket (the thick thing in bed that keeps you warm at night) and we need SHAMPOOO!
OH! our working hours are 9-1930, so 10hour a day, but we only work 4 days a week! that means 3 days to go snowboarding in the winter! AWESOME!
Cheers from Mathias and Niklas @Panorama resort
We apologise, but we will add photos as soon as we can!
