Frid 11th March – Last day (on holiday that is) !

Still here despite Tsunami warning still being in place. Today all the talk here is, when they will experience their “big one”. Apparently Vancouver is situated smack bang on the San Andreas fault line; a fact of which we were unaware! (Really MUST do more research next time)

Today here, it’s been rainy - very rainy. It’s said that if it isn’t raining here, it soon will be, and we believe them!

Despite the chilly rain, we made for the foody highlight of Vancouver’s attractions: Granville Island, as we felt we should at least look at all the gourmet delights on offer there in this buzzing epicurean market centre (thankfully is a covered in market!)

What a delight - even if we couldn’t take full advantage of it as a) we’re not self-catering, and b) we’re off to the airport first thing tomorrow.

Take a look at the wonderful produce on offer here….

Then had a nice lunch at Bridges - one of the on-site restaurants

Pan fried Artic Char & veg (no chips)



Sockeye Salmon, roasted veg (and a few chips)

Topped off our visit with a visit to the Microbrewery on the Island

And after a warming sauna, tonight we’re packing and having a picnic with our market finds

                        Tiger Blue Cheese, walnut bread, fig relish, stuffed olives. Nice

So….. it’s goodnight from me; and it’s goodnight from him.

See you in the UK, if we’re spared!
