Just Pottering About!
After a hearty breakfast this morning (25th May), we headed into the jungle. There are a couple of tracks down to the river and the terrain is still mainly temparate rain forest round here. We heard some very weird sounds but determined that it was the resident Raven population as apparently they have a repertoire of about 30 different sounds. The most spooky, were the one's that sounded like howler monkey's! Oh - here's one that I managed to capture on camera:

Suffice to say that despite putting on loades of insect repellent, we were both bitten. Me not too bad but Jan has three very nasty bites on her ankle that have caused a swelling. Hopefully, it will go down after a while?

Terrace itself is a pretty busy little place (for a small town) and is disected by the Skeena river which is quite wide, fast flowing at this time of  the year and over which there are several bridges. At one point, a railway bridge and road bridge run side by side:

And it was great to be there when a train came through - choo choooo!!:

Pottered about in the afternoon in and out of the local shops. In one of them, we met a lady who moved out here 40 years ago from England and another who has been out here for about 11 years but who is originally from Wales (Port Talbot). The welsh lady was very interested to know that my future son-in-law's family is from Neath in South Wales!

Ended the day at Mumfords Bar & Grill. My burger was accompanied by Cod Chowder - strange here but, to accompany your burger, they give you the choice of fries (chips), salad or soup so I just had to do the soup thing. Must say though that it was delicious!
