18 January, 2007
We walked and we walked and we walked. The weather wasn’t brilliant, about 5 degrees Celsius and some rain. We ignored it and carried on with our days plan. The inner harbour is really beautiful, surrounded by mountains (which were snow-capped and full of clouds) but anyway we can just imagine how spectacular it would be in the sunshine. We stopped for a beer and some fish and chips at a harbor café and it was very cozy. The fried fish isn’t half as good as back home but I guess it is something we haven’t had in a while so we enjoyed it. The walk through the shipyard and the upper harbor wasn’t as appealing; perhaps in summer when the rowers are rowing past in their colourful row-boats and the sun is shining on the water it is prettier. By now it was really raining and so we did a tour of the Legislative building – taking in a bit of BC History. We strolled around the town with all its alleyways and funky shops and it was already getting dark by 17h15. We found an amazing Noodle Bar for dinner- quick and easy and really tasty. We tried to find a lively pub but I think that it was too early and being the ‘big drinkers’ that we are, we headed back to our warm and very comfortable hotel room.
