After 36 hours without sleep, I'd planned to go to bed for a while, crawl out for dinner and drag myself back to my room. But as soon as I stepped off the bus at the hotel, the air and the mountain views revitalised me so I took a long walk around Stanley Park and along the harbour.
Some places I take an instant liking to, and can imagine myself bringing the family for a real holiday. This place is currently topping 'the List'. Sea planes, whale watching, bears on Grouse Point, great affordable food.
On the second day we ate our bodyweight in sushi for 10 doolars and got us some beaver. Or at least, we went to Beaver Lake.
So yeah, if you haven't been, go. Just don't be surprised when you don't want to leave.
Bonus Material
Vancouver's versatility (and lower costs of course) mean a lot of TV shows and movies are filmed there. The front of the hotel was turned into a casino for Pierce Brosnan's latest vehicle Percy Jackson. Let's just hope he doesn't sing, eh?
