We spent today exploring Vancouver. We checked out the art gallery, an interesting mixture of Japanese and one of Canada’s own: Emily Carr.
I am no art expert but her work made me feel how the characters in Harry Potter felt when the dementors had been around. It was like all the happiness had been sucked out of them. Dark dreary ugghhh.
After the gallery I made an attempt at ice skating. I am no Jane Torville or Christopher Dean.
After a pit stop at an Irish place for a culture and catching the last minutes of Wigan knocking Man City out of the F.A cup we headed back to the hotel.
After a bit of online research we walked down to the ferry to Granville Island. Wow what a great place, markets selling all types of fruit, veg, delis, bakeries, and refreshment shops. We meandered to our hearts content.
Refreshments bought, pies for dinner later, chicken pot pie and salmon pot pie looked delicious.
We headed back to the ferry and walked back up the hill towards our hotel. Movie and refreshments, the pies were divine, good night Vancouver, this place is great.
