Early start.   I was outside the hotel from 6.35am waiting for the tour bus to pick me up.   They’d said 6.45 but I didn’t want to miss it.   It didn’t arrive until 7.05... Most of the trip I stayed quiet in back, with my ear phones in.   Nirvana, ... Read more >

Another day with Ron & Franziska.   It was brilliant, I was totally city’ed-out and it was great to just get away again in good company.   We went first to the Aquarium, we had members passes, which is very good as it saved us a ... Read more >

A few days, blogging silence... Been too busy, not been in the mood, and the hotel didn’t have free wireless anyhow.   But, I’ve got 23 hours to kill on the train now, and whilst the scenery is beautiful, there is only ... Read more >


Postcard from Vancouver

CANADA | Monday, 26 Sep 2011 | Views [490]

I’m writing this whilst I wait from my breakfast -, or is it last night’s dinner? – at Mary’s Diner on Davie.   Mary’s Diner is your typical stereotype, a juke box playing various rock (well, it might be digital but it’s a juke box), plastic ... Read more >
