To give our poor feet some rest after walking the city yesterday, we went to the beach at Jericho park. At first it was a bit windy and cold in the morning but later on it became really warm and sunny. Phew, so warm that we decided to swim in the ocean. Lovely, not too cold and what a view - the skyline of Vancouver.
At first we took a coffee at the surf school and after walking to the bus station we had a beer at a Greek restaurant ^^
In the evening we met with JMB (Joanna) & her husband Allen. Joanna is a dear SL friend whom I know for a few years now. Joanna and Allen took us out for dinner in a lovely restaurant in Stanley park; the Teahouse, which has a superb view and great food.
We all had salmon as a main course accompanied by a lovely white BC whine.
It was great fun to meet RL Joanna! Thanks again you two for giving Peter and I a lovely evening. Hope to meet when we return after our round trip.
As I am writing this blog post in the lobby of the Century Plaza Hotel and Spa, where we stayed 3 days. I booked this hotel through HotWire. I accidently stumbled on this site on the internet. You don't know which hotel you get, untill the moment you book it. You choose the area and the number of stars the hotel should have. The prices are really good. We will use HotWire again for sure. Adventure exists ^^
Peter is fetching our rental 4x4 at the airport. When he arrives at the hotel with the car our tour will begin. Starting of with a boat trip to Vancouver island, where we will drive around the coming 5 days.
