Farewell Vancouver

It's been a great mini holiday and this first photo is what I took from our room this morning.



We had a delicious lunch in Yaletown with Richard yesterday at a restaurant called Simply Thai...amazing portions for lunch so Richard got the rest of mine for his lunch today.

We hadn't been up to the Cloud 9 revolving restaurant for a while so we went there last night. The food has usually been pretty ordinary and somewhat pricey but for old Vancouverites you just can't beat the view of the city. When I went online to get their number there was a coupon for $20 off so that was a nice surprise. But an even nicer surprise was we had a rather amazing meal. We ordered surf and turf and the lobster tail was like a whale's tail and the AAA Alberta beef steak was excellent as well. I've had less lobster in a whole lobster than in this tail. It was unusual, though, because our server mentioned the chef said we really lucked out.



And a few photos of the view. It was quite nice initially then started to rain which was ok too then we got the night view with all the lights. I don't think I'll ever tire of Vancouver's scenery.
