Vancouver

We flew from Montreal to Vancouver. A 5 am start with an Uber, before the Metro was running.

We stayed in a flat near Stanley Park.



Stanley Park is a beautiful natural urban park.

We went on a RIB safari up Howe Sound.

We rented a car for the last day and drove up to Whistler, a famous Canadian ski-resort. Some excitement getting to the airport on time when we got caught in a major traffic snarl-up caused by an accident.
