Day 2 in Vancouver

Our body clocks are confused but we had breakfast at around the correct Canadian time - waffles and maple syrup for me.

next stop, exploring Chinatown...

This is Dr. Sun Yat-Sen garden, an oasis in the city. 

Next we walked around the shores of False Creek...

... before heading back through Yaletown.

In the evening we had fish n chips at the Cambie - our new local.

 

Vancouver wanderings

We finally got away on our overseas trip, first stop Vancouver. After a 13 hr flight a long wait for the baggage...

After booking in to the hotel we walked around Gastown, the old part of Vancouver, brought back to life in recent years, full of cafes and boutiques and souvenir shops. The Cambie was a great place for dinner and drinks before more exploring...

This is the famous steam clock. This area is full of locals (we were invited to a block party!)cyclists, dog walkers...

the steam clock's chimes are like Big Ben.

Quirky stores...

...murals and graffiti

indigenous artefacts. Jet-lagged so early night.
