Monday 12th August 2013
We finally met Martin our host @ The Whistler house..He & Rescue dog Harley had been up the mountain to the gym. We grabbed fruit for a breakfast to go.
Bill paid we head off to the view point at Tantalus, as u can see it was foggy & Visibility poor, we missed out on the snowy peaks.
This little wildlife beauty took our eye.
Next stop Shannon falls.Some kindly asian folk offered to take a pic for us.
These mighty falls are owned by the local native tribe.
On to Vancouver & a trip up the Lookout Tower.
An illustrated story board takes you on a tour of the city form the tower, Including the sports stadium built for the 2010 winter olympics, with the worlds largest retractable roof, & views across the stunning bay towards some of Vancouvers priciest real estate.
Lunch at the Steamworks..One of Vancouvers Micro brewery's. Believe it or not..Just Diet Coke for me !
Next the world famous "Steam Clock" every 15 minutes it plays "Bow bells" from 5 steam pipes, mounted on it's top. The clock was donated to the city by an ex mayor in the 1900's. We were lucky enough to witness a countdown to a performance from one of the cities local homeless folk, who gave a very nice roadside talk ..For tips.
My idea of heaven..A store with a great selection of expired licence plates!
We stopped at a seaside spot & spied a seal basking on a rock!
Ian & Min decide to venture out to this island.
I stayed ashore with a bus load of Chinese folk & took photos. After another 2+ hour drive ( With a Mall stop..Thank you Ian..Min found herself in an Abercrombie & Fitch outlet, goodbye the last of her holiday money! )
Bestie Westie Cascadia Inn ,& a suitcase sort out before dinner.
Mr Bean joined us for dinner, at The Hunan Chinese next door to our hotel.
