Granville Island: lots of activity in the market, galleries, many stages with performances and music and street perform
ers... a real festival feeling.
Then fireworks at night at packed Canada Place (400,000 people estimated to have been out watching the fireworks)
Vancouver is a beautiful and peaceful city.
Chinatown is a bit dodgy though - feels like the homeless and junkies of the world conspired to make our accidental walk through the main street quite "an interesting experience".
Anyways, bed, then world cup at 7am and 11:30am. A respectable hour, instead of 2:30am!!
Yo!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog so far!
I celebrated Handover day / Canada day by accidentally finding myself trapped in the protest that was walking from CWB to Wanchai - ha ha ha! I was like: Go Democracy! Woo hoo! The right to choose... now will someone let me choose to go right and exit to Gloucester road please?
Also saw an amazing Canadian band in homage of your adventure: Caribou. They were fantastic! Unbelievable! Whoop whoop!!!
Rock on! Just saw mum off to the airport for the maldives... Chris managed to meet her and give her think love bracelets!
*Happy Thoughts!*
