Hi everyone well since my last blog I've been seeing the sights of Vancouver and Stanley Park, which is bigger than central park in New York.

I got off the bus and went for a walk around the sea wall which is beautiful as you can see the whole of the skyline with the harbour and seaplanes in front. I took a guided tour on a horse drawn carriage/tram through the par...

I got a cheap and cheerful 'room' which turned out to be a mini apartment complete with kitchen, dining and lounge areas. I'm in the centre of downtown Vancouver and went for a wander through the shops and got food etc. I was so knackered I chilled out watcing some of the 60 TV channels.
