A wonderful Vancouver day

We began with a swim in the outdoor pool here...great views of the buildings and mountains then lunch with old school friends, Kerry and Donna, at the Pan Pacific across the street. A bit of a rest then Richard and Claudia joined us for bubbly and sushi in our hotel room then we walked to a very cool French bistro called "Jules Restaurant" in Gastown for dinner. We hadn't been in this hotel or this area for a while in Vancouver so it's been great to explore around and there is now this fabulous new Vancouver Convention Centre...photos of that tomorrow.








Waterfront Centre Hotel



Our room view...I love watching the working harbour of the container ships, the seabus, helijets, cruise ships etc. You can't get this as much anymore since because of security the working waterfront is very restricted. No more Cannery Restaurant because of that...dommage!
