Spent a few days taking in the sights around Vancouver - Lighthouse Park, Horseshoe Bay (for dinner at The Boathouse), Stanley Park, British Properties, etc. With the ocean on one side and the mountains all around, there could not be a more beautiful setting for a city than this.

*** This beautiful house was actually designed by Keith, with no previous experience, to fit on a pie-shaped lot and is quite stunning.

Vancouver has several public Gardens so we started off with Queen Elizabeth Park and the Bloedel Conservatory. The Conservatory is full of tropical plants and multicoloured birds - a very pleasant and relaxing place to visit.

The weather has been more typical of Vancouver for the last few days - rain, cloud, sunshine in no particular order. We took a ride to Harrison Hot Springs and Hope (135 Km east of Vancouver) as they are in a beautiful mountain setting. We just had to take that for granted as the clouds were too low to see them! A trip to the Van Deusen Gardens in Vancouver was fitted in during a brief sunny spell on Thursday.

Went for our last hike today as we have to start packing tomorrow to prepare for our trip home on Monday. Lynn Creek Park is in N. Vancouver and has a suspension bridge, like Capilano, but is free, unlike Capilano's $10 fee! Hiked over the suspension bridge and then to Seymour River, down to Riverside Dr and then along the Baden-Powell Trail to Twin Falls Bridge - about 3 hours round trip.
