Hey everyone! I made it to Vancouver just fine! long delay on the flight over (2 hours!!) and i've already forgotten the reason. Got into the airport so tired and made it to the Samesun Hostel in downtown VC. Its such a nice hostel everyone is really friendly n everything. Didn't get much sleep even though i was knackered! On Tuesday we walked around Gastown and Chinatown (visited a nice traditional Chinese garden) and then had a walk along the Waterfront. Such an amazing view from the waterfront - the Rocky Mountains in the distance under the clouds! I'll try and upload some pics for you all to see. Then in the afternoon we went on a free guided tour around the city and Stanley Park (its MASSIVE)! awesome tour guide he knew a lot! Stanley park was great, even though i've done it all before. Then on Wednesday we had a bit of a lie in, then rented some bikes and rode around the whole of Stanley Park along the seafront it was great! Met a friend of Steph's for a drink in Gastown Cambie hostel which was cool, but i was so tired from cycling all day i nearly fell asleep lol. Got a great nights sleep! today we're off to get the car (mini-SUV!) and get the ferry over to Vancouver Island for a couple of days i think. After that who knows! Although we do need to be in Calgary on the 16th to get a flight!! Anyway, i'll hopefully keep updating you all on further adventures!
