Vancouver

Vancouver has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has nearly everything – a thriving downtown area, a good arts scene, incredible mountain views, great parks, a beautiful harbour and lots of wildlife. First day we spent on Granville Island, an arty area just south of the harbour and then onto downtown and a couple of galleries, followed by an evening stroll along the harbour.

The following day we took a bike ride around Stanley park sea wall – probably the highlight of our stay in Vancouver and met up with some hungry Racoons that were hanging loose in the park. The aquarium at the park was also worth the visit – Beluga whales, sharks, sea otters, jellyfish, crocs, tarantulas and many humans (it was Thanks Giving).
