... bus all the way out to the UBC campus which contains the famous Museum of Anthropology. This I'd certainly reccommend, especially if you're interested in the history of the indiginous culture of the Northwest and like totem poles and other wood carvings.<br><br>Round the back of the museum I found a steep stepped trail leading off down the side of the hill the campus is situated on, so I followed it and found myself on Wreck Beach where ...

... the final destination. Perferct landing on the water of the harbour of Horseshoebay, as the ferry to Vancouver Island was leaving we landed on water and moored in the harbour. Walked the boardwalks over to the restaurant called the Boathouse, perfect table overlooking the bay. Plains, trains and automobiles and boats and cablecarts. We have done it all. Even a limo!! That picked us up and took us to downtown clubbing district!!! But enough ...

... town. Workers and students throng the streets like Spring Break on MTV. Just get out on Granville or Burrard, pick out your kind of crowd, and follow them to their usual hang-out. Davie Street, westward from Burrard, is the gay neighbourhood. MacLeod's Books (455 W Pender) is a large used bookstore with that hippie atmosphere. In that area are other shops of used books and of antique clothing. One of my favourite foods is sushi. There is ...

... the things that would usher in the happiness we think we seek. Living in a tiny four person compartment for four days on a train speeding through Siberia with no showers and two long stops a day to stretch your legs outside, it's amazing how the simplest things will make you happy when your life is ...

... looking forward to seeing Zach and Holly so we thought we should go there a bit earlier than planned. We had a shower, a cup of tea and spent the afternoon chatting until Craig got home from work. We had a BBQ all together but then Craig had to go out as he was going to a concert. We relaxed for the rest of the evening and Steve did some e-mailing etc.

... was very confronting. Finally we turned enough corners that we got out of their way, but it was truly something I had never seen before. - For those of you that are aware, I do have a little bird phobia. Well the seagulls here, which are usually my most liked of the bird variety, are HUGE!!!! I mean really HUGE!!! Therefore I have decided to steer clear of these ones as well. - Today we went for a ...

... dense and the sun reflecting off the top can make the cloud look akin to a huge moving iceberg. We spent a few hours exploring the fort on the far side of the bridge and the small town nearby before getting the ferry back to the city with a hundred other cyclists doing the same thing as us. It seems San Fran is also pretty good for shopping and I managed to impress myself with how much money I could spend in Armani shops, although thankfully the daily limit on my ...

... while we were sleeping and others, now that we had some experience, were just too big to haul the 20 000 km we planned to travel. We decided that the best vehicle for us was the second one we saw in North Vancouver. So we rang Zlatka (the owner) and arranged to see it tomorrow morning. We told her that we intended to make an offer on it. We transferred money into our Canadian bank so we could pay for the vehicle.

... Once you've seen one North American downtown, you've pretty much seen them all. Although this one had hydroplanes taking off in the sea, which was nice to watch. We decided that we would head for the Gastown district to go to see the steam clock. We made the mistake of checking our map in the street and were quickly approached by a homeless guy with interesting ulcers offering directions. Really useless directions incidentally. He requested our spare change for his efforts ...

... of rock from here to there and trucks lurking around with yet more fragments that they had to get rid of somehow. We eventually made our way up to Whistler where we were surprised to find that a lot of people were out holidaying there, despite the fact that it is predominantly a skiing town. The parking area was packed to the brim - It looked very much like the car park of a shopping mall on the day before Christmas. Well after finding a spot or rather 'creating' a spot for our car ...
