North Vancouver

Yesterday was a top day. A top day. A few of us decided to take a tour around North Vancouver and see a bit of the forest (well everyone else decided, I was eventually coerced). And I'm pretty glad I went since it was pretty amazing. The views from the wooded bridges 200 feet above rivers are pretty spectacular, and all within about a 15 minute bus journey of a Western metropolis. I've stolen a few photos from those with cameras (so credits to Rosie and Greg).


This was our lunch spot. Sat on a rock having a sandwich looking at that is slightly better than Ipswich.



A view from the bridge.



Half a second after this was taken I pulled a stupid face. Or was that half a second before?

All finished off by a tour of Chinatown and the Vancouver Public Library. I have a feeling I'm about to become a friend to the library; they give you 2 hours free internet access per day. Job's a goodun'.

The guide was Erik, a Danish guy who's been living in Canada for 47 years. Even though he's retired (he's done the tour as a volunteer for the last 15 years) his enthusiasm was amazing. As Greg said, at the end of the day he didn't look like he wanted it to end.

So all this lead to today which I'm afraid to say was dull. Jobhunting and more jobhunting was the order of the day and there'll be much the same going on tomorrow. If only I could find a job as a paid tour guide...
