Vancouver

Well, we've arrived, and Vancouver looks to be a lovely city, very clean and feels affluent. We had a day on a hop-on, hop-off bus today, Went to Gas town - a bit wild westish and named after a chap who opened a saloon and talked a lot, then on to the waterfront and finally to Stanley park, a huge and beautiful recreation area with beaches, lakes, park areas, totem poles and beautiful views. Also today sampled dim sum in Chinatown (as suggested by Paul) and very good they were too. No pictures downloaded as yet, maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow is Canada day and a national holiday. We are promised another hot day and a firework display in the evening.


This is the Lions Gate Bridge, over the Burrard inlet
