First day in Canada started at 1-30am - unabble to sleep, suffering from jet lag - not too good! Life begins at 6-00am when everyone comes for breakfast; coffee, waffles and maple syrup!! We have had a hugely successful first day seeing over 70spp. First stop was George Reiffel Reserve - a wetland with planted trails. This was a great place with many waterfowl, warblers, chickadees and sparrows. First squirrels seen and genuine beaver damage to trees [many trees are protected by wire to slow ...

13th April Vancouver Sunny 13 degrees We arrived safely in Vancouver after what seemed to be a long flight. It was pretty noisy (engine) and fairly turbulent and so very difficult to sleep. (Able to watch lots of movies though). On arrival we phoned our hotel from the shuttle phone service and were picked up pretty quickly in their van. Thankfully they let us check in early. It was now only 8.30am and we weren't supposed to check in 'til three. After a couple of hours sleep we restarted our d...

14th April - More Vancouver sights Sunny 13 degrees After a healthy breakfast of Belgium Waffles and muffins, we caught the bus to Stanley Park where we spent some time at the Vancouver Aquarium. We watched a few shows (Birds of Prey, Beluga Whales and Sea Otters) and also had a look at their other displays. Afterwards we walked around the sea wall of Stanley Park and saw the Totem Poles, horse and cart, black squirrels and Spring flowers. It's a lovely park (1000 acres) and very well used wi...

15th April Vancouver Sunny 14 degrees Today we walked to the shops to get a DayPass which allowed us to catch unlimited buses, seabuses and skytrains for the day. We caught the bus Downtown, the Seabus over to North Vancouver and the bus to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The suspension bridge, originally built in 1889, spans (137m) a deep gorge and fast flowing river. There are great views from this wobbly bridge and over the other side are the Tree Top Adventure and Cliffhanger Walk through...

16th April Cloudy periods 14 degrees Today we caught the bus to the Historic Fishing Village of Steveston. It's a pretty village with a boardwalk and shops along the wharf. I think we arrived a bit early in the day, and also a bit early in the season, as it was not quite the "bustling waterfront " as described in the brochure. Very pretty though, with nice views of the ocean and marina.

... bridges in the Treetop Adventures section of the park. It was like being in Ewok territory on the forest moon of Endor! They also have a Cliffside Boardwalk that offered excellent views of the bridge, canyon and brook. By that time, it was starting to rain pretty hard, so we got some souvenirs and headed back to the hotel to repack our suitcases and double-check that we had everything for the cruise tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!!

It's taken me a while to get settled in here on the North Shore, but summer is nearly here and I'm still having a fantastic time. I've been working some very irregular shifts at the coffee shop and it's hard work, but it's actually quite a lot of fun. It's nice not having to take anything too seriously and the tips are a nice perk. I have absolutely no experience of making coffees or preparing food so sometimes I have no idea what I'm doing, but I think I'm learning quickly ...

... upload from the Palm to the blog site while connected to a wifi spot at Blenz, so now I am retyping the whole thing from Dad's pc!) Out flight from Ottawa was uneventful other than a little turbulence as we crossed the Rockies west of Calgary and again during our descent into Vancouver. I had an interesting chat with a fellow economist from UVic who had travelled to many of our destinations before she had kids. (Hi Jen B!). We ...

... Later that evening, things started to get a little crazy as we grilled out, had a few drinks and watched the sunset on the beach overlooking Georgia Strait. Words can't describe this memorable experience, but the pictures can give you an idea. By this point Michael had already become a part of our trip and our new travel companion.

... the reason he rarely sees daybreak. And cheapskates that we are, we'd booked bargain flights at 8am so had to be ready for a 6.05am taxi pick-up. But problem-solving is one of my strengths. The quickest way to get Mr Brown moving was to go dashing into his room at 5.15am just out of the show** wearing just a towel. Needless to say, we w**e up and running in plenty of time for our trip out west. We had been told by Mr Quintaine that his colleagues thought our one night ...
