Sometime, in the middle of our CanVac we flew to Vancouver. It is truly astonishing, when you think that you are in the air for 5 hours and you are still in the same country. ( and you haven't even started from the East coast.) For the average European, this is an unbelievable fact, since, if you started from Barcelona and flew for 5 hours, you would have crossed several countries and ended up somewhere in Siberia.
As you can imagine, I took many pictures in Vancouver:
Gastown, Chinatown, Downtown, Stanley Park, Grouse Mountain and so on and so on....
I will post a few pictures, but then, what have you got? Pretty much the same as you get from street level in any big modern City. So, please do not expect much in the line of "City-scapes"...
Having said that, let me quickly add that we loved Vancouver. It's a beautiful town, in parts old fashioned and in parts ultra modern, but almost always tasteful.
We walked many miles through the core of the city. Then, up by cable car to Grouse Mountain, (where we met one of the three days a bit rainy and overcast.)
We walked in Stanley Park and admired the huge Douglas Firs, we walked in China town and enjoyed the sights, sounds and smells of a different culture, We strolled through Gas town and inspected innumerable boutiques, bars, restaurants and the world's only "steam driven clock."
We met many people and enjoyed meeting them all.
Vancouver was a wonderful three day experience.
