Bridges on Granville island where we had invited Joanna & Allen for dinner

Vancouver downtown revisited

sailing to Granville

the food market where you can get it all; fruit, veggies, meat, fish, you name it it's there and moreover all is fresh and a lot is organic

I stumbled upon this 'dresser' in a gallery. Wow this is an item I truly love! 

dancing the tango: had to think of our friends Huibertie & Wouter ^^

the hat shop where Peter bought me an awesome sort of hat ^^

lounging at the Granville hotel

Hilarious moment: when Peter wanted to pay with creditcard the waiter flipped it by accident between the floarboards of the deck... arghhh. 

But their maintenance guy fixed it and in the evening after our dinner at Bridges we fetched it. Super!

meeting 3 weeks later again with Joanna & Allen

Canada 01: Vancouver 7 July 2013

This morning we woke very early coz after half a day and a night, we aren't adjusted yet to Canadian time. However, it's great to be walking through a city that early in the morning. The weather was super; sunny with some clouds and not too warm. Not many people on the streets on an early Sunday morning; we saw the city wake up.

We walked through downtown Vancouver to the waterfront, hired a bike there  (refused the helmet), cycled through Stanley park, had a lovely late lunch at the harbour. 

Afterwards we walked all the way to Gastown and afterwards to Chinatown, visited the classical Chinese garden of dr. Sun Yat-Sen there. Had dinner at the famous Chinese kantine HON's. Walked all the way back to the hotel where we finished the day with an espresso. Our feet hurt.
