Today was day 3 of Whistler and it was a beautiful sunny summer’s day. We began the day gloriously by waiting for this heaven of a bakery to open at 8am to grab a loaf of bread to satisfy our growling stomachs. Once the bakery open its doors, we rushed in as their first customers and tried to make our first difficult decision of the day, which was “which loaf of bread should we purchase?”. The baker hinted that the chocolate cherry loaf was “great for breakfasts”, and we were both secretly eyeing that particular loaf, so that was an easy decision. We sat outside to enjoy our hunk of bread without cutlery, so chocolate was smeared all over our hands; this was the best breakfast I’ve enjoyed in a while. We ended up finishing the entire loaf and happily scurried back to find her family before heading out for a bike ride.

The bike ride around the trails of Whistler was very scenic and enjoyable. Since the last time we biked in Whistler was with our high school girl friends and the forecast boded heavy rain and winds, biking in Whistler really redeemed its status this trip around.

After the bike ride, we decided to go get ourselves matching glitter tattoos. The lineup for the tattoos were long, and composed of 5-8 year old girls with their parents, but we were determined to get our tattoos this time around after last year’s past two failed attempts due to bad weather conditions (the hut closes when rainy). After waiting for around 25 minutes, it was our turn and we each got a glittery seahorse tattooed on our backs. Super cute!

We walked around the village for a bit, then went for some ice-cream at Whistler’s iconic Cow’s ice-cream shop, where we lined up for maybe 15 minutes, but no minute was gone to waste because it took us all that time just to figure out what flavours we wanted to try out. Moo Henry, Cookie Moonster, Brownie Explosion, Birthday Cake, Chip Chip Hooray, Messie Bessie, Moo York Cheesecake were just some of their super epic flavours. After our double scoop of ice-cream, we sat around the village and chatted while getting some vitamin D.

Dinnertime rolled around, so we went back to the Air b&b suite and helped prep dinner. It was our second time barbecuing and we had an epic feast of grilled pizza, mushrooms, leftover veggie burgers from our first night, as well as corn on the cob. There was so much deliciousness. Charred corn is so delicious, and I swear Leung makes the best corn. Follow her instructions on this recipe and you can taste summer throughout the whole year without ever turning on the outdoor grill. The corn pairs perfectly to the oil free pesto sauce and makes a wonderful light but satisfying summer meal.

We ended off the evening with another short bike ride and now I’m lying on my belly on the bed typing up this blog post. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
