First of many in Vancouver airport!Yes, we finally made it. Chubs and Greyhead have moved from the sofa and left the shores of England and arrived in Chubs' beautiful country of birth, sunny Canada. It was a bit of a nightmare going through Heathrow, by the time we got checked in we had about 10 minutes to shop but Greyhead decided a poo was more important! The 9 hour flight was not too bad, obviously I kept elbowing Steve when he dropped off because I couldn't sleep 😊 Arrived about 3 o'clock Vancouver time and spent our first night in the Ramada Inn, not exactly a backpacking experience but don't worry we're booked into a proper hostel tonight until Fri so hopefully my snoring won't be as bad as last night or 'll be sleeping on the pavement. We went straight out on the pi** when checked in as we wanted to stay up as late as possible and surprisingly managed to down quite a few 😊 Met with Amy's sister Emily and she will hopefully point us in the right direction which will probably be as far away from her as we can be! Hired bikes today, yes, you read correctly, we hired BIKES today
Chubs+Bike = Love Machine!!
Chubs+Bike = Love Machine!! and basically rode round the whole city (it's not all that big honest) and have included some pics to prove. Absolutely perfect day for it, beautiful sunshine and mid twenty degree heat Feel a bit tired now though, probably because my body thinks it's 1 in the morning! Going to look to do the whale watching later in the week so will update you then. Talk at you soon, C & G.
