So what was meant to be a pitstop in Vancouver to drop off some of our things, turned out to be a non-stop party and an excellent addition to our trip! We spent 10 awesome days exploring the city and making new friends, eating yummy food and just sampling in general what Vancouver has to offer.
Vancouver is such a beautiful city, surrounded by snow covered mountains that you can see from all different places - we can‘t wait to make it our new home when we come back in March.
Highlights
- The Canadians! They are the most lovely and hospitable people that went out of their way to make our trip awesome.
- Being lucky enough to be there for a solid snowfall. We probably shouldn‘t have ventured out when it was snowing though, aka getting stuck lining up for a bar in the snow with no cabs and having to walk/run 20 minutes back to the hostel. Learning the hard way that our australian clothes aren‘t exactly built for artic conditions. But it was worth it to see everything covered in frosting the next day.
- Granville Island Markets - gorgeous food markets with everything from organic fruit and veges, huge atlantic salmon and all the cheese you could ever eat.
Lowlights
- The sunset at 430pm - There is not enough time in the day!
