3rd of July again!
Arrived later than expected in Vancouver, due to the delayed flight at around 11:30am. Flew with Air Canada on a direct 15hour so called new Dream Liner, who’s dream was to make seats smaller and more squashed in was some skinning Pppp rrrr k! Here to say the economy class on all planes are truly stuffed, but all good made it to Vancouver on a beautiful day. Customs baggage collection done then find the Dollar rental cars, then off we go on pure jet lagged in our dodge people mover!
Found our beautiful hotel Sylvia beside English bay, walking distance to Stanley Park which by the way is pure bliss! We where both feeling a little worse for wear after the flight so had a little nap before we went off to explore beautiful Stanley Park. Walking thought Stanley Park we came across the Treehouse tea rooms, picture perfect so we stopped for our first happy hour and lunch, which was lovely.
Decided to take the hop on off tour of Vancouver from here, which turned out to be a good idea as we where both on another planet, and saw lots of Vancouver in a short amount of time.
Dinner now at the hotel bar over looking English bay on a beautiful evening. As promised Tony Noonan we would catch up with Tom who was working at an Irish pub at Canada Place, we hopped in a taxi and caught up with Tom, a couple of drinks and back to our hotel very tired now!
