Cambie Hostel Seymour Vancouver

... 4 hours it took us!! Dont think Sab was too impressed. Had to get 4 different buses and the last one didnt go all the way as there was roadworks, so we had to walk even further!! 10km round the lake though and it was really beautiful (Buntzen translates as beautiful in abbo speak), so definitely worth it. Would like to go back but not sure I can face the bus trips!

This weekend is Canadian thanksgiving which is why I'm off work today living it up. Not sure how its spent ...

... spend some time with you... no matter how brief... I expected the weather in Vancouver to be rainy... tis the season! Thankfully, I'm armed with my warm fleece, dependable MEC rain jacket and compact umbrella (thanks T!) so the weather doesn't bug me much. I've been here for two weeks, and thankfully the rain only dampened the first few days of my trip. The temperature has hovered between 5 ...

Ok... so this is a test, sort of. In the planning of our epic adventure, I am trying to find the best way to keep peple connected, and updated along our route-- I have no idea what kind of access we will have, or how much time we will want to pull off to update, but I think I would rather be as prepared as possible before I go.
