Beautiful house, delightful staff. Highly recommend the pancakes for breakfast. Nice and close to Broadway - City Hall skytrain station (5 minute walk). Markets and shops close by.

We decided on an early and excitable start as we were collecting the 'Windstar' today; our long awaited car / van to travel in for the next couple of months!

Aber anyway, was dann mal kam, sorgte direkt vor meiner Nase im strahlenden Sonnenschein für ordentliche Gischt - pas mal (hm, irgendwie haben mich diese Kanadier und ihre omnipräsente, gelebte Zweisprachigkeit wohl mit ...

My first full day in Vancouver was spent getting a social security number, a bank account and then seeing a few of the sights. I took a ride up to the Lookout, but it was fairly overcast so I decided to come back in the evening. I walked around Canada Place down to Gastown to ...
