Well, that's us into Vancouver now and almost ready to start the cruise. We had a lovely room up at the Fairmont in Whistler - in fact all the rooms we have had have been good and really quite large with very comfortable beds, so we've been sleeping pretty well. The weather has also held out well for us so far. Even though we've had cold and frost and snow in the Rockies, it's been fairly nice and the past few days we've had blue sky and sunshine. It's actually quite warm today here in Vancouver.
Once we checked into the hotel we went for a walk and took the small aqua ferry over to Granville Island where all the food and fruit and veg markets are. We had a walk round there and a nice lunch. However, as we've walked our socks off, we're now back at the hotel where I have free internet access, to have a rest. We're going out at 5.30 p.m. to go to the lookout tower and a walk round Gastown and maybe a meal out in Chinatown.
I think I forgot to mention that the Fairmont Hotel had left a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries for us, so that was nice of them - they were really huge fruits and just lovely!!
I am still taking loads of photos, so I hope I've managed to get some good ones. Terry spotted a black bear with its cub today, but I missed it!! We're hoping to possibly see more wildlife as we get near Alaska, but we'll just have to wait and see.
