Ammo box on a bus

Wednesday 25 July

Have woken up to lovely sunshine.

Today we decided to catch the bus from Aldergrove to Willowbrook Shopping Centre in Langley as Jim had been told that there was a military surplus store nearby. The shopping centre was huge but we are not into wandering around shops so had a fresh orange juice and then headed over to the surplus store. .Jim was on the lookout for a particular ammunition box but they did not have any in stock. He did manage to buy another type which he hasn't got for $25. The store was well laid out but the prices were probably a bit high. The guy behind the counter said he was expecting some different types of ammo boxes in a couple of weeks if we wanted to come back. We may need to drive the van there next time as they are not the easiest thing to carry in a backpack. It was such a tight squeeze in the backpack that we had to tie the handles of the box to the backpack because it kept falling back and opening the zips. Didn't want to be seen on a bus with an ammo box.

Coming home the bus was quite full and it went via a different route. It left the Fraser Highway and meandered along some other roads through an area where there were lovely houses on big blocks surrounded by trees. We also saw quite a few horses, berry farms and vegies being grown under cover. We were hoping that we hadn't taken the wrong bus as it was not going where we thought it was supposed to go but it was such a nice drive and we knew that we were going to end up in Aldergrove somewhere, Fortunately it came back on to the Fraser Highway and familiar territory.

It will be early to bed tonight. We leave Aldergrove on Friday and head towards Chilliwack so tomorrow will be spent washing, shopping and repacking George.
