so we left skagway on the bus. robert had found us a free tent so we took that in case we found ourselves in the same homeless situation altho i think we might leave it here as we dont plan to camp again, im sick of mosquitos! lol. i have to say tho robert was a real lifesaver and a very nice guy, dont know what we'd have done without his help

so we arrived in whitehorse on monday the somethingth (loose track of days and dates so easy) we had no where to live yet again, but the lovely kind bus driver dropped us at the visitor centre so we could phone a hostel from there, he then waited on us, then dropped us at the hostel door, how nice is that!!!

whitehorse is an ok place, nothing very exciting apart from the fact it had a skate shop and debbie got some new shoes. other than that the weather was nice and we just hung out and enjoyed it mostly
