Got several hours sleep and we were up and about (after breakfast) at about 11am. We walked a few blocks down to the ferry terminal, caught the ferry ($2.25 a 1.5 hour ticket) and ferried over to the Vancouver CBD. When we got there it started raining rather heavily so we escaped into a big mall and walked around there for a few hours. Was very interesting to check out all of the stores. A lot of them are the same as shops in NZ, except with a different name. I bought a few books for my upcoming train trips - they were books in a series that I haven't been able to find in NZ so all good!
Also was talking to loads of people just so that I could be a bit of an attention whore, the accent gather instant customer service and people love talking to me/us. hehe
Got back after a few hours (back on the ferry again) and we went through Lonsdale markets and bought a bit of sugar free chocolates - very nice! Bought a little box and we have all had a few pieces - the rest has gone into the fridge as too much incurs a bit of a laxative effect if you know what I mean ;-)
Going out for dinner in an hour or two - not too sure where just yet, but will be somehwere where we can have a few drinks and harass the locals about how it's lucky their town in on a mountain or it would be underwater with all this rain haha!
Cheers
Matt
