Vancouver 2016

A few days to relax after skiing and show Alison around the delights of Vancouver.  Our hotel was in an excellent location next to Canada Place, and well placed for getting around town on foot, including the famous Gastown area, which was definitely more salubrious than when I was previously there ten years ago.
Our itinerary included the inevitable ferry trip to Granville Island, and a very pleasant cycle ride around Stanley Park and False Creek on the excellent city cycle tracks.

Skiing in Whistler

Our skiing vacation continues, with excellent snow conditions, and for the first few days at least, sunny skies. We are steadily working our way through the numerous restaurants and bars in Whistler Village, and now that we have fully adjusted to the time zone, starting to sample some of the musical entertainment available here.

Some recent substantial snowfalls have freshened up the pistes, although they didn't really need it. The only downside being reduced visibility while it is snowing.  A couple more days of skiing before we head off to Vancouver for the remainder of our holiday.
