Well, here I am, in Vancouver, stop 1 of my world trip. It's day 2, and I'm hoping I'm over the worst of the jet lag. Trying to get some sleep at 18:30 in a Hostel on a main road isn't easy, in case you were wondering.... ;o)
Was up very early to beat the rush for the shower, and then walked about a hundred blocks looking for a diner so I could have a nice healthy pancake breakfast. Well you have to don't you really?
Having found a suitable venue for breakfast and then having traipsed back to the hostel to get my stuff I hopped on a bus to Stanley Park. Vancouver's full of trolley buses (good for the environment) and they're really cheap too, which is a bonus. They also have bike racks on the front, which is totally bizarre.
Stanley Park's a huge place, surrounded by the sea and covered in woods, lakes, various statues, totem poles... I dread to think how far I walked but the views were definitely worth it. I was a little disappointed with Beaver Lake though, not a hint of beaver anywhere...
If the weather's good tomorrow I'm thinking of heading off to a really high, really long suspension bridge over a chasm in a forest, which should be interesting. Lay your bets now as to whether I get across without either freezing up completely, or crying like a girl.
Other than that not much else to report at this stage - I have photos to upload but can't do it from here so you'll have to wait. Hopefully up soon though.
Anyway, enough for now, I'm off to chill in downtown Vancouver...
A bientot
