We are in Canada & finishing roof!

---

We are here! Finally we have arrived! After a great quick flight from Chch and a long and weary flight, we are here. The flight was good, however we didnt eat tea until 10pm and was rather hungry! You can imagine Rob! We watched a few movies and dozed our way through a 14 hour flight. We arrive in Vancouver to patchy cloud and sun! Not what I had expected, as I was expecting snow and cold! We assembled the bikes in the airport, much to everyones enjoyment.
Vancouver has a fabulous 'Skytrain' into the city, which you are allowed to take your bike for free! Its new and relativitely cheap, very convenient for tired kiwis! We walked a few blocks from the stop to a friends house in Fairview, which is 15-20mins walk to Vancouver city! We were offered a cup of tea! Perfect! Dinner, a horizontal bed and a warm central heated home! Awesome!

Today, we have wrangled with the Canadian IRD and Immigration offices! Rob was allowed his fix at MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op; a massive outdoor store with "3 rows, floor to roof of packs, and....."). We also explored town a little, although havent done anything exciting to report!

Im adding a few photos to see!

Not much to report: we are here safe, although tired! Next few days have in store; van buying....get Robs IRD (SIN) number...visit some sights....
