An impromptu stay for longer than expected in Prince Rupert certainly paid off in spades. \u201cJimmy The Janitor\u201d was the first friendly face, stopping his busy rounds to chat with us about the town.
\u201cIf you aren\u2019t afraid of work, and you have a business you like, you\u2019ll do well here,\u201d he said in a thick Nova Scotian accent. His trip across the country many years ago landed him in Prince Rupert \u2013 permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Prince<\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n

And to an extent we understand why; it\u2019s a beautiful town, with friendly people and majestic scenery \u2013 when it\u2019s not raining. We didn\u2019t see much of the wet stuff ourselves, but anybody who has spent much time living in Prince Rupert doesn\u2019t have many nice things to say about their weather. I have to wonder though: how would the same people view the harsher snowy winters we are so used to in Toronto and Edmonton?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four day visit and sunny weather had us enjoying the outdoors as much as possible. On day two we hiked up Mount Hays: a 2400ft elevation in some pretty heavy snow up top – up to our waists at times \u2013 which made the slog quite tricky and cold. (Our tootsies were happy to have a hot shower when we got back from the 5 hour climb)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t
\"Climbing<\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n

Another day we hiked about 10kms around some reversing tidal rapids and grassy beach areas just out of town. After our summit of Mount Hays though we were in real pain by the time we returned from our second consecutive long hike for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we were glad to have the exercise, as the 20 hour (plus 3 hour delay) ferry ride to Vancouver Island<\/a> left us not much choice for exercise other than running from one end of the ship to the other!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOSTELLING:
When we started traveling, I didn\u2019t quite understand the whole Hostelling concept. Sure the cost is somewhat cheaper (not always as inexpensive as you might think though at times!), but it\u2019s a transient lifestyle at best. Until we came to Prince Rupert, everybody we came across in hostels pretty much kept to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when we did find ourselves in conversation with fellow travelers, it was somewhat repetitive:
\u201cSo where are you from?\u201d
\u201cHow long have you been traveling?\u201d
\u201cWhere to next?\u201d
\u201cWhat\u2019s your favourite\u2026.\u201d
\u201cOkay, well have a nice life\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026yadda yadda yadda. We\u2019ve only been on the road a short time and I\u2019m already tired of the same old rhetoric!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However I realized that we just hadn\u2019t met the right people or made the right connections. When you only stay one night in a place there\u2019s often little point in trying to forge new relationships. Most travelers are going different ways and uninterested in a one-day-travel-affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only when Matt, a Kiwi (from New Zealand<\/a>) volunteered to tag along our hike up Mount Hays that we discovered what hostelling is all about. He\u2019s actually a business traveler, but chooses hostels as his preferred mode of accommodation. He said it\u2019s more friendly, unlike the anonymity you hold when you bunk up in a little hotel room and are forced to eat out every night. You meet all kinds of people, and sometimes you can even find somebody traveling your way and experience new adventures together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, we are looking forward to connecting with Matt again in Edmonton<\/a> and taking some trips out to Jasper together for more mountain climbing this summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
