Ok, just spent half an hour typing up my blog only for it not to save so here's the highlights!
Tuesday 31st august arrived in Vancouver
Wednesday walked round Stanley park. Met dougie in evening.
Thursday walked up grouse mountain with Simon and Kevin. Pretty tough. Went out for a few beers in the evening.
Friday went to Lynn valley with aidan, George and Emma. Crossed suspension bridge, jumped off rock, and wandered about. Went out in evening.
Saturday a crowd of us (8 different nationalities!) went to Lynn valley again. A couple of the guys went fishing.
Sunday was due to go to tofino but missed the bus. Partly my fault, partly the bus company's. Ended up going to Granville island with Aidan. Then went to the Asian market in Richmond.
Monday went to tofino on Vancouver island. Took about 7 hours to get there. Welcome to banjoland!
Tuesday went surfing with nanook.
Wednesday just chilled out and went to tonquin park.
Thursday went on a boat trip to the hot springs and went whale watching. Saw 4 humpback whales, a bald eagle, and some seals.
Friday am heading to whistler today (will take about 12 hours) and plan to meet up with a few of the guys I met up with in the hostel.
Overall, I really liked Vancouver. It's a lovely city with loads to do, and the people are very friendly.
I found tofino a bit weird, and had a strange atmosphere. It was all a bit league of gentlemen for me! The scenery was great though and was good to chill out for a few days.
Next stop whistler!
