We made a quick two day stopover in Vancouver en route to Waikiki (O'ahu) for my Birthday and Christmas.
I have always wanted to visit Vancouver, so as U.K. to Honolulu is a long flight, we usually do stopovers, both to and from Honolulu.
So this time we chose Vancouver going, and Toronto (for the umpteenth visit - but I love it ) on the way home.
I often read that people say Gastown is a tourist trap, as is the Steam Clock, but I am fascinated by the clock, and why not see this unique clock !.
In my picture it shows the vast amount of steam when the clock strikes the hour.
I will endeavour to add more text and pictures to the Vancouver pages as and when I have the time.
So please feel free to come back and check from time to time. You are very welcome.
- Pros:lovely city with amazing backdrop
- In a nutshell:nice place to visit
