Vancouver - WOW ...

... where to start? We've only been here 5 days but it has been a whirlwind of looking for accommodation, meeting new friends (and old) and driving around this beautiful city. I've hardly had time to sit at the computer - there are a few daily snippets on Facebook for those of you who go there. I'm thinking of starting a new blog ... it's hardly appropriate to write about Vancouver on a blog called Botswana News, now is it? Look out for Voice from Vancouver, coming to a screen near you sometime soon (or maybe not that soon as I start work next week!)

Suffice to say - we love Vancouver, so far, - will be happier once we have settled the accommodation issue. The weather has been warm and sunny and bright - the people are incredibly friendly and helpful ... the city is gentle and unhurried (not like London as I was expecting) ... the sceanery is stunning - beautiful views everywhere you look ... there is SO much to do here ... great restaurants, shops, galleries, sports facilities and most important, John is happier than he's been for many years ... it's looking good :-)

Time in Vancouver

I've just changed the clock on my blog to show Vancouver time. So if you want to know what time it is where we are (or will be from Sunday) then you can check the time here.
