Friday 17th September-Arrival in Vancouver

Up early for disembarkation.Cab to Rosellen Suites at Stanley Park. Well appointed spacious unit, in leafy street. Considering Vancouver voted one of the world's most liveable cities the visit to the downturn area a great disappointment with many derelicts in the streets and a generally run-down look. The foreshore by contrast is delightful with many reminders of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Afternoon visit to a superb aquarium with belugas, dolphins and last but definitely not least the sea otters the main features.
Finished off an otherwise uneventful day with a decidedly mediocre meal at a local grill although I suspect that we have been spoiled by the quality of cuisine on offer on board the cruise ship.
My cold now taking a turn for the worse so off to bed early.
Cheers
The Obese Ferret
