I had a morning left in Vancouver, so had a few hours in Stanley Park and lunch on Granville Island. Theres so much to do here. I could have a week and it still wouldn't be enough, i.e. whale watching, Vancouver Island, Whistler, but i have other fish to fry.

The bus jouney took about 4.5 hrs, including getting through customs. Entertainment was provided by an 50 ish american (think victor Kyam? remmington ad) and the coach driver ( think Bill Cosby but in the style the Simpsons take him off. Victor, had been to europe and caught a football (sorry soccer) game. He was concerned about the fanatical support, but enjoyed the game and seemed to be an authority on the sport now. Particulary "when all the top soccer stars are coming to america now for example that portuguise guy, you know Beckham, or is he Italian" He then went on to suggest the there ar'nt enough goals so the pich should be shorten both ways. I bit my lip as i was now in US Territory. At least the bus driver knew he was English " You know"

So first night in Seattle. went to a reasturant. going there was fine, coming back you realise you on a very big hill like San Francisco. It reminded of walking back to the hotel when i was skiing in Borovets. I convinced myself the walk is good for me. My right foot disagreed.

Hey darl....your funny the way you talk about gravy on chips...
Walking up hill is good for you but would've been less painful if you were slightly merry?!
Sounds like you got through customs alot easier than i did... not fair as you look well more dodgy than I do.. hehe

Hi I.L.

Sounds great, freshney place revisited, plus fish and chips. Did you arrive back home and not realise when you were asleep for hours!!
I'm not off to Vancouver if its not happening there, plus I would want to give all the homeless my money and then not have anything left.
Happy forward travels, looking forward to reading the next chapter.
p.s. you only look dodgy in that long mac you've got so don't worry.

Sounds like you are having a great time. Everyone has been talking about your travel blog so keep up the good work.
I am definitely jealous. We will have a drink when you get back. What the hell are you wearing on that glacier?
Take Care
