Saturday 23rd, slept in, did some washing and drove into the city to pick up our rail tickets for our Vancouver Island, Nanimo to Courtenay trip, Prince Rupert to Jasper trip and also booked a trip from Jasper to Kamloops. Another beautiful sunny day. We visited Granville Island and walked around the markets. Also stopped by a camping store and purchased a few more things for our trip.Sunday 24th David and I borrowed John and Lorna's bikes and went for a ride along part of the trans Canada trail.
Monday 25th we went to Victoria on the Ferry from Tsawwassen which is south of Vancouver. We had another fantastic day, sunny but still cold. We walked through the parliament building and the Empress hotel. We also walked through their china town. Had lunch by the water and fed some very fat harbour seals.
We headed up over the Malahat mountains and caught the ferry back from Nanaimo to Horseshoe bay which is North of Vancouver.
We later visited the Capilano suspension
bridge and the site where the 2010 winter Olympics Arials and Moguls will be run. We also went to an Ice hockey game. Vancouver Giants vs Kelowna Rockets. Rockets wone in a penalty shoot out.

We caught the sky train to New Westminster and over the Fraser river bridge then back over again and headed into the city. We caught the sea bus over to Lonsdale Quay, had lunch then back over to the city and into gas town to see and hear the steam clock chime 4 o'clock.
We took John and Lorna out to dinner at the Fish House in Stanley Park. Very nice dinner.

Today was our first rainy day but it did not stop us getting out and about. We then went to Deep Cove which is a small North Vancouver suburb like a little country town. Headed back to Lorna and John's for a coffee and cake and to dry off in front of the fire. Last nights dinner was finished off with chocolate fondue and champage. Excellent way to finish off a fantastic 2 weeks.

hey I can guess that at Lynn Canyon David may have recalled how last time there years ago there was that crazy/strange bald guy mimicking as though he was about to jump off into the gorge... unless my memory is better than David's (it's been suggested)
