Another day in Vancouver....

We walked over to the lawn bowling club and pitch and putt golf course...both within a 5 minute walk. The lawn bowling...really it's like bocce...is very cheap for a membership and "new members welcome". They let you borrow bowling balls for the first year and teach you to play. People are a variety of ages and all very friendly.

Also had a nice welcome at the golf course. We'll start with a punch card but probably have a yearly pass then you can just go anytime and play 9 holes just for fun.

The tennis courts are also right there and there's a back board so I think we'll bat around a tennis ball too. We used to be very keen tennis players!

And The Fish House is right there too and open 7 days a week from 11:30 and doesn't close at all during the afternoon. I can see being regulars there. The chef, Karen Barnaby, even offers cooking classes. Elaine, that name rings a bell...do you know her?

Then take-out fish and chips from the Raincity Grill which we took down to the beach...fabulous and only $10 each and in future for lunch we'll split one since they're such a large serving.

We were going to go to a baseball game tonight with Richard and Claudia but we're a bit exhausted so early to bed...
