Day 1 - after sleeping for 11 hours we ventured into the City taking a walk to Gastown and stumbling on the steam powered clock and then along the waterfront. Saw a few water planes take off and land, and the Olympic flame which had been relit in memory of Jack Poole.. a great Canadian, a great westerner, a great man... who also happened to be a giant of a man!
Day 2 - again after another 11 hours of sleep in our quite comfortable bunk bed we walked around the city. Saw some girls playing hockey (quite poorly in our expert opinion), went to the chinese gardens and then accidentally ended up on East Hastings Street while trying to find the police museum. Very very scary!! Nick was offered Ketamine and we saw a lot of crack zombies. Scary, but another thing ticked off the guidebook. Had to find a bar and have a cup of tea and a beer to relax. Celine Dion gave birth to her twins, an event which triggered mass celebrations throughout this great nation.
Day 3 - found a really good pizza place for lunch... 2 slices for $6! Booked to go on the moose bus on saturday to take us to Banff.
