Finally left Toronto!! A little early to check in at the airport, 5 hours so we rang home to speak to the folks. Got a 5 hour flight to Vancouver and arrived at the Hostel about 10pm staying in the nightclub district that also has quite a few adult shops advertising 25c peep shows! Lovely!
Next day Kate got up at 3am to ring Joe, Vancouver is 8hrs behind the UK unfortunately! Had a walk around the city and decided to hire bikes tomorrow. On the way back to the Hostel Kate had a slight stomach attack and had to run into a restaurant damn those Starbuck Hot Chocs with Whipped Cream!
Following day hired bikes and ended up doing a marathon bike ride around Vancouver, 5 and half hours to be exact! Very sore bums since neither of us have been on a bike for some time! Stopped and had a picnic half way round where Alex had a slight strawberry incident and stained her new jeans! Managed to get back on route around the Marina into Stanley Park. Saw some lovely views but hard to concentrate as Kate had no brakes! Pretty scary going down the big hill! Finally got back to the Hostel where Alex accidently spilt some water on Kates bed. We sat there with the hairdryer drying it off but in the end had to ask reception for a new sheet. They only thought Kate had wet the bed and wouldnt believe that it was a drink! How rude!!!!
Next day we had a very early start to go to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Caught the 7.30am bus and then a ferry. Went to the British Columbia Museum to see the Titanic Exhibition and some artefacts that have been brought up from the wreck. Was very interesting, we were even given boarding cards of a person on the ship and you could check if you survived or not. Luckily both of us were rescued well we were 1st class passengers! We then went Whale Watching!! Was amazing to see Orcas in the wild even our gorgeous red waterproofs added to the fun. Was a bit breezy on the speed boat so look at the pics for some fetching shots!! Today is also my anniversay (3 years) with Joe so HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!
Tomorrow heading out to the Rockies so wait for the update if we are not eaten by Bears!!!
