Vancouver has been my favourite place so far. The excellent hostel and glorious weather have helped, but I think I'd still have like this city. It's got mountains, forests and beaches and is very photogenic.
Yesterday I went on a day trip organised by the hostel which included some of the iconic buildings of the city, a wonderful woodland walk, a picnic by a beautiful river with cle
ar, emerald green water (photos don't do the colour justice), crossing a canyon over a waterfall on a swaying suspension footbridge, and visiting chinatown and a beautiful chinese garden. There was so much included, I've probably forgotten some of it.

Then I spent all afternoon at the aquarium which houses everything from tropical tree frogs to beluga whales. I saw the seals and sea lions being fed and the dolphins doing their acrobatic display but I think my favourite animal was the sea otter which lies on its back in the water apparently fast asleep with its paws tucked under its chin.
It's impossible to choose which pictures to include here. I'm planning to upload a much bigger selection of photos than I can fit here onto a photo sharing site and put links here, so watch this space. At least today I've managed to find one of me where I'm not wearing the same green fleece as in all the others.
