Vancouver

Fourteen hours plus of flying and we have arrived in Vancouver. The flight was punctual, the service OK, the turbulence occasional but the Boeing 777 aircraft rather noisy.

First impressions of the city are favourable. We've been awake more than 24 hours and need to remain awake for a further 7 hours or so to adjust ourselves to the new time zone.

We have occupied ourselves so far exploring near our hotel (Fairmont Waterfront) by wandering around Gastown, taking in the views from Vancouver Lookout, walking along the waterfront and eating a rather nice Pizza.

Gastown, Vancouver

  1. Looks beautiful. I'd like to go to Vancouver. It's another one of those cities that always seem to be among the top of the list of the world's most liveable cities.

  2. Ah, the steam clock. We were there three days before you. I wonder if you had pizza at the same large harbourside Italian restaurant near your hotel.

    1. Our pizza was at a pub along from where the sea planes dock, Andrew.

  3. A lovely city! I haven't been there since the late 80s, so I hope you'll post more photos. Enjoy!
