6:44 PM - Goodbye Vancouver, hello Japan - Rachel






It's our last evening in Vancouver, and what a gorgeous one. Despite a wet forecast, it has been a hot beautiful day. This made the gay pride parade particularly hot and sweaty. But even better, we went up in a sea plane!! It was brilliant. Small and noisy, with spectacular views. The pilot took us all over the Vancouver area so we could see not just the city, and Stanley Park, but the rich suburbs, Simon Frasier University (a sort of academic commune at the top of a hill), the nearby hills and valleys, and all round the harbour. Fantastic!!

So two guidebooks down, two to go! Tomorrow we set off for Tokyo. Haven't really got our heads round flying across the dateline yet, but very excited.

Gran wants to know whether this the plane you went to Japan in?
