The B & B (Bed in the Basement)

So today is day 3 of our mission in Vancouver Canada and we feel like the adventure is just beginning!

We arrived after an 11 hour flight from London Gatwick which seemed to take forever! Once at the airport we located our suitcases quickly, caught a taxi and arrived at the B&B (Bed in a Basement but without the breakfast!) We arrived at 9pm and as it was 6am in England we were definitely ready for sleep but woke up again throughout the night and by 4am we couldn't sleep anymore so Cheska finally agreed with Jo to go for a walk to watch the sunrise over the mountains! We walked for a while and our eyes lit up when we spotted a Starbucks- so after a long 10 minutes waiting for them to open we enjoyed hot chocolate and breakfast. After we went to Safeway and brought Pancakes, Waffles and strawberries to enjoy a 'traditional Canadian Breakfast", but for lunch!! We were pretty jet lagged for the next two days so enjoyed the apartment, sleep and a trip 'Downtown Vancouver' to briefly check out the shops, a Chinese for tea and a long walk home due to getting off the bus at 1st Avenue when we were staying on 31st Avenue! (As if you hadn't guessed that was Jo's fault!)
