weekend break in Vancouver


Vancouver in spring - looking west from False creek towards English Bay.

We have just spent a delightful long weekend in Vancouver, BC. It was a real treat to spend a few days away from the prairie, in a city where people drive normal sized cars instead of monster trucks, and where waiters dont look strangely at you when you ask for an espresso!



we spent 2 delightful days walking along the coast, taking in the city views with the breathtaking mountains as a backdrop. We also took the oppportunity to eat lots of seafood, and found a couple of good microbreweries serving decent ale, so we will certainly be back soon!!

  1. Thank goodness you have found some decent ale.
    I was beginning to worry about the severe deprivation you were suffering!
