Oh, Canada!

There are few things more delicious than a long, hot shower and brushing your teeth after a long haul flight.

We landed in Vancouver on a snow-covered tarmac below grey, cloudy skies, grateful it wasn’t raining. A 20-minute taxi ride takes us to our apartment accommodation in central Vancouver. As the city speed by the car windows, Michayla says it reminds her of Philadelphia.

After checking in we popped across the road, picking up bottled water from Urban Fare and coffee, rolls, and doughnuts from Tim Hortons. We’re both exhausted, neither of us having slept on the flight. Eating in front of a cheesy movie and a long, hot shower is all we have the energy for now.

Tomorrow we start exploring this city, tasting the local fare, and hunting for thrift shop bargains!
