We've not really been tourists so far. Too many 'proper jobs' to sort out to relax! Dinner out last night has meant that we now have some accommodation sorted, which is a big load off our minds. We also have some leads that we are following up for our work, which is a huge relief. So, after ticking another item off the 'to do' list this morning, we headed south into Gastown - a very touristy area.
We stopped by the steam-powered clock. It was pretty pants as clocks go. Not a patch on big ben or old joe! We then made our way to the Dr Sun Yat Sen Chinese garden. Very pretty, and a bit of an oasis. We had to skirt the edge of two separate tai chi classes to enter the free garden. There are tortoises and big koi fish in the pond.
We have spent two of the last three late afternoons on the local beach. The beaches are very well used, and quite clean. It is complete novelty to be out enjoying them. We did realise last night on our way back from our dinner that we hadn't actually been out after dark at all! Jet lag tiredness the main reason.
Not many pics taken yet, but we'll add a selection when we don't have to schlep down to the IT room in order to access the web!
