We had a bit of a lazy day today. We started off with breakfast at a Ma and Pop greasy spoon. Very tasty food, but the service was a bit relaxed. Afterwards. we did a bit of shopping on Robson St. I came within a whisker of buying a new iPod Nano, but managed to control myself (for now). Then it was back to the hotel for a nap and a bit of a doss about. Cloud Nine is the name of the rotating restaurant at the top of our hotel and it is something of a Vancouver landmark. Today is our last full day in Canada so we decided to splash out for our last dinner. The view of the city was amazing from up there. We got there at about sunset and spent the next couple of hours enjoying the city's panorama. I recommend the tasty (if pricey) Surf 'n Turf. The B.C Merlot wasn't bad either.

It was very pleasant reading of your adventures here in Canada. My wife and I are curious about why you choose to spend the majority of your time in the western part of Canada driving from Calgary, through Kamloops (our hometown) to Vancouver.
We sure hope you come back again soon. There is so MuchMore to see- :-]
Hi,
Thanks for your comments. I guess, with only two weeks, we had to reduce the trip to a manageable schedule, whilst fitting in the places that my wife and I really wanted to see (on the first pass). Also, we wanted a few days at the end to just unwind and chill out, without having to worry about driving and so forth. My wife is from Japan, and a lot of her friends have talked positively about Vancouver, so she wanted to spend at least a couple of days there. We will definately be coming back to Canada as we have both really enjoyed our time here. Ideally, I would love to wrangle a temporary placement with work out here and get to live here for a while. I agree with your comment about there being much more to see. I am looking forward to it.
