That's our Pride and Joy the day we bought it from some dodgy used car dealer out the back Vancouver... and she's the lovely Insurance lady that awarded us our Liscence plates.
Vancouver City is fun, Vancouver Island is beautiful, but our van sux! we bought an ugly van thing last Tuesday and it blew up on Thursday - Doh! All good though, after a couple of days waiting around for it to get fixed on Vancouver Island, she's back on the road and running like a dream!
So far we've been here for just over a week and are loving Canada. We went to an Ice Hockey game the other night which was absolutely fantastic! there was heaps of good fights, real pop-corn vendors, and some heavily romantic type even proposed to his wife in one of the breaks - we couldn't believe our luck. And it's not even as cold here as we thought it was going to be, but that kinda sux because it means not much snow... So tomorrow we're off on a road-trip with our Japanese friends Taeko and Takako to find a Ski-hill to settle down at for a while so hopefully the next blog will have a few photos of us carving the crap out of some Canadian powder!!!!

This was actually a juniors game because the national league is on strike this year for a payrise. so these 16-21yr olds are enjoying weekly crowds of 12-15000 supporters and the atmosphere is great

if you look close you can see the winner had got the other guys shirt over his head, and because the refs don't jump in to stop them he just kept pounding him till they fell to the ground and got sent off to the sin-bin
