TRIP LIST

Saturday 29th August - Rest Day


Today is our last day in Vancouver (for the time being at least). We're off to Calgary on the Rocky Mountaineer tomorrow. Had a sleep in this morning. As there was no gluten-free option in the 'free breakfast' we went out for bacon and eggs. Then walked down to Granville Island and caught the little ferry across. They have a wooden boat festival on at the moment. Lots of wooden boats from dingies to restored cruisers and tug boats. Their owners obviously do love their boats. One can only imagine the upkeep.


We then caught the bus back to Gastown and had lunch at a Japanese restaurant - 'a box set'; soup, tea, teriyaki chicken, tempura, salad, rice and half on orange to finish off with'. All for $8. You can eat well for not a lot of money here.


It was then back to the HI for more rest. Was lovely to be able to speak to Damian and Sarah on Skype.
