Now very much under the weather so late getting up on a drizzly, grey day.
While Lyn and Bert go off to buy new suitcase (old one damaged by the cruise ship baggage handling staff ) Gail and I take walk along the foreshore again and head down to Gastown, formerly a sleazy part of the city but now a very trendy enclave.
Meet up with Lyn and Bert to walk through yet another seedy part of the city to Chinatown. Visit the Chinese Garden of Sun Yat Sen,scholar who was instrumental in the overthrow of the Ching Dynasty to instal democracy.
G and L take ferry to Granville Island, known for its market, while Bert and I take a cab, collect the new suitcase and return to the suite. By now yours truly is now feeling in a condition just short of rigor mortis so off to bed for a while in the early evening. Wake up to partake of the fish and chips which L and G had bought. B not eating as has an upset stomach, maybe at the thought of next day's ferry trip to Victoria. ( Bert's now well-documented aversion to sea travel makes me look like Lord Nelson!)
Early to bed for a night during which I cough all night like an elephant seal and Gail snores. As Mr McCawber said " result misery"
Cheers
The Obese Ferret.
