Day 1

Day 1 of 84

We had a fairly uneventful flight and public bus transfer to our hostel in Downtown Vancouver!
I'm referring to our hostel as "Jungle Book" as it seems to have the "bear necessities", but for £40 for a double ensuite it's perfect!

The biggest surprise of the day was that Charlies bag weighed less than mine!

We managed to go for a pleasant walk along Beach Avenue and found a really good place to eat. "The Fish House" is the best of both worlds Posh & Cheap! £50 total for 3 courses, though think we were somewhat under dressed!

I think jetlag got the better of us both as the infamous "Pike" shortcut got us lost, when will Charlie learn!

I'll sign off now as Charlie should be returning from an early morning 6 miler!

Hope all is well in Old Blighty!
Cheers
Martin & Charlie

Hi Guys, Glad to hear you arrived in Vancouver safe and sound and are already settling in to the travelling lifestyle. Outstanding commitment from Charlie to go out running on the first day of the trip . . . her 6 miler sounds more appealing than my 6 mile run in the fog first thing in the morning !! So what's your excuse for having a heavier bag than Charlie . . . you don't even have to worry about a hairdryer these days !! And I thought you'd grown out of going out underdressed recently ;0) Looking forward to reading the next instalment. Dave, Teresa and the Boys
