Yesterday I flew back from Kelowna to Vancouver, going from a dry -7°C to a warmer and wetter place.<\/p>\n

I met Adrian’s girlfriend Amy at her work, dropped off my big bag and set off for a wander to occupy some time. I only got as far as the big public library around the corner, which had the benefits of being warm and dry and having internet.<\/p>\n

Once Amy had finished work we headed for the apartment, in the West End of Vancouver. Amy then took me for a walk to show me the neighbourhood and we had dinner at a Greek restaurant nearby.<\/p>\n

This morning—after a nice lie-in— I did some washing then wandered into central Vancouver to buy some new rechargeable batteries for my digital camera.<\/p>\n

The apartment is quite close to Stanley Park<\/a>, so I went for a walk round the sea wall, which has only recently reopened after severe storm damage<\/a> last year. It’s a lovely walk, especially on a cold, clear day like today. The first picture shows an apartment block near the park; the tree apparently represents the height of the trees that used to be in that area. The second picture is of ships waiting to enter the port.

These pictures show a view along the sea wall, Siwash Rock<\/a> and the Lions’ Gate<\/a>.
