Wednesday August 30 – Vancouver to Brisbane

We breakfasted early, packed bags, checked out and left bags in storage at the hotel for the day. Anna was waiting for us in the lobby (Eko stayed in his room to rest and get better). We caught a hop-on hop-off bus, getting off at Stanley Park for a walk. Saw the ‘girl in wetsuit’ statue, and the totem poles.









We got back on the bus for a bit more of a look in Stanley Park then off again to get the ferry across to Granville Island. Here we walked around, seeing areas we hadn’t seen when here last. We had lunch, then watched an escapologist while eating a cake each. We also watched a Peruvian musician play beautiful music – and bought a CD each (Anna and Lesley).

 Back on the bus we completed the circuit, getting off where we started.

We walked down to Anna and Eko’s hotel, and Eko came down. We sat in the foyer talking for about an hour. Eko is still not well, but getting better. He flies home tomorrow so he has to be OK for that. Eko went upstairs and the rest of us walked back towards our hotel. Anna left us to go window shopping in a big shopping centre, and we went back to our hotel to collect our bags, and get a taxi to the airport. We had a friendly and chatty driver, from Philippines originally.
After checking in, getting boarding passes and clearing security, we went up to the Air Canada lounge where we sat for a few hours before boarding at 11pm.
