Last stop - Vancouver

Lots of folk I met told me I would be wowed by Vancouver and that it was Canada’s prime real estate city. Well, I’ve seen it in the sunlight, in the rain, by day and by night, alone and with others and my opinion is that it’s down to location, location, location! With the water, the mountains and the forests, it sort of feels like a city that shouldn’t really have been able to exist with all its tall skyscrapers of glass and steel.  With huge cruise ships pulling in for thousands of tourists to disembark to explore the city, it’s certainly never short of a visitor or two.

My Vancouver highlights were walking around Stanley Park with two lovely new friends, coffee and catch up by the water with another new friend and then heading out on a Lynn canyon and city tour with an amazing chap called Eric, who hails originally from Denmark. He made my last day in this fantastic country truly memorable with his enthusiasm, knowledge of the city and endless stories. Even the rain couldn’t dampen his spirits as he came prepared with a bright yellow poncho!
