Whistler and Vancouver


The three of us spent this past weekend in Whistler and Vancouver. Despite a hectic Friday 13th journey (that we very nearly missed) we had an amazing time with perfect weather. We saw the ocean for the first time in a long time, ate yummy food, saw a bear, a shark, some chipmonks, a really cute newborn Beluga whale and lots of fishes. We can't wait to go back soon!



A bears bum.








Seb didn't much enjoy his chariot ride.











Spot the bear....

As we were returning to the village after our walk we spotted a bear on the path up ahead of us. The people just in front are just vearing off the path and onto the road to get out of it's way. We were pretty excited and couldn't get the camera out quick enough to get a decent picture. The photo below is a zoomed in version.




Lunch at The Pony in Pemberton. The yam fries were SO good we had to order more and Neil said his steak sandwich was the best he'd ever had!!



On the beach at Lost Lake.






Strolling in the village.

Nice helmet!








I like this photo, Neil was trying to set the timer but it went off a little too soon.



Cow's ice cream, mint chocolate chunk.....mmmm!!







A nice totem.


We spent Sunday afternoon in Stanley Park and Seb had his dinner sitting on the beach listening to the waves crashing in and watching cruise ships and speed boats go by. It was so nice to smell the sea again!



We got around Vancouver Aquarium in record time having arrived only an hour before it closed!






















Getting lost in Vancouver traffic on the way back to the airport.




Ratty, with his sick bag at the ready, gets strapped in ready for take off.





Trying to contain Seb on the plane. He was charming all the cabin crew with his smiles but I don't think Neil minded the attention.




Bye bye Pacific Ocean!
