Rosedale on Robson

Last stop on our holiday. I rose early and went for a swim in the hotel pool. We passed on the expensive breakfast and packed our bags yet again. Tess wisely decided to save weight by transferring the remains of the Baileys to a water bottle so I enjoyed a rather early nip.


I enjoyed our brief visit to Victoria but the bus trip to the other side of Vancouver Island showed me how big the place really is. Our coach transferred us smoothly to our BC Ferry for the 90 minute trip to Vancouver.


We passed through some interesting coastal forest. The weather remains very pleasant.

In our second friendly and helpful local encounter, a passing stranger hailed a cab for us after we had been sent walking miles in the wrong direction to our hotel by the bus driver. We are ensconced on the 18th floor in the Yale District.


We walked to the Gas town area which is reminiscent of Kings Cross. Probably comes alive more after dark. I feel a little old for it these days. Some of the dives would have been our beds for the night in the 1980 trip!






One of Vancouver's problems remains ...


But there are lots of interesting new buildings blended with the old.






Tomorrow we have booked a ride out to Whistler, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics. On our last day, we think we might watch the latest Harry Potter. And then begin the looooong journey back to Australia.

And work.

It's been fun while it lasted.

Will add photos tomorrow.
