Arriving in North America

Location:	Vancouver
Mileage:	0!

We are jet lagged but have arrived in Vancouver on schedule. The only thing we need to find out is if the bike has got here too. It is 6.30 in the evening and we have to wait until the next morning before we can phone the freight agent , Swissport.

It's a hot and humid night, more reminiscent of Singapore than Canada. After a rack of ribs and cold beer, we catch some zeds and try to adjust to the eight hours difference.

We are up at five the next morning; we ring the agent at eight. They sound a little vague as to whether the bike has arrived. So we pack our documents and do the couple of mile trek back to the airport to find out in person!
