16th & 17th February Vancouver to Whistler

We woke up at 10am had breakfast and set off for a sightseeing drive around Vancouver. 1st crossed Second Narrows Bridge then along Trans Canada Hwy over Capilano River, then Lions Gate Bridge, around Stanley Park where we saw some Totem poles and views back to the city. We then drove through the city and around the Uni of BC and past many log booms in the river. Next we drove up to Steveston which is Canadas largest fishing port to have a lunch of fish & chips.
That night we watched the Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers. Vancouver won 4-2.

Sunday we headed off for Whistler along the Sea to Sky highway (amazing views along the way)as it was forcast to be a sunny day on Monday. We stopped off along the way to look at Shannons Falls, a view of the Tantalus ranges, the sight of the new 2010 winter olympics 70m and 90m ski jumps. We also visited a 2nd hand shop and picked up some bargain ski wear. David and I both got new ski jackets, polar fleece vests and a ski shirt for under $100.
