Farewell from Canada

So here, we are in the airport lounge awaiting our flight. Vancouver International Airport absolutely puts Heathrow to shame, being spacious, clean and all together civilized. Security took a mere 10 minutes to clear, despite everyone being thoroughly checked with the magic wand. The aiport lounge also boasts complimentary internet access. Sadly, the weather was not on our side again today, being all together damp and dreary. We spent the morning in the aquarium in Stanley Park (from where the picture was taken). Then it was a quick lunch back at the ramen shop and then the right to the aiport. Being my last entry from Canada, I thought I would do a quick list of my observations during our stay here (in no particular order).

The Good

The scenery

Icefields Parkway (drive of a lifetime)

The steaks

The availability, cheapness and quality of Japanese food

Driving in the mountains without another car in sight.

Kokenee beer

The people

The Bad

Portion sizes can be huge

The Ugly

Some hotels charge for internet access. Cheeky buggers.

So, I will leave you with one final photo of Bow Lake.
