4 am--YIKES! Our flight was on time; Carleen/Tom/Dar/Mike, hereafter referred to as "the twins" had a one hour delay but made connecting flights, and we all arrived in Vancouver on time!
Vancouver is a beautiful city with a real international flavor. Our hotel is on the harbor, and we all have wonderful views. We spent the day cruising the gas light district which is the oldest part of the city. This picture is on the dock where the cruise ships dock--right across from our hotel! When the "twins" arrived, we went again and enjoyed a few brews from local breweries.
A couple interesting sites in the gas light district were the steam powered clock that strikes the hour, and Gassy Jack, who built the first brick hotel in Vancouver so that he'd have a place to sleep after visiting the local pubs.
The clock was a popular place. The gas light district had loads of quaint shops, restaurants, and pubs.
A few glasses of wine while enjoying the view of the harbor, and we were ALL ready for bed!
Looks like you are having fun! I am jealous! Great job with the blog, Karen. Have fun on the cruise!
