Sim City

On the Seabus arriving into the North Shore

Vancouver is very civilized. It's very clean, tidy, and car drivers are courteous, it's a good place to walk around. The business district was very quiet today with only a few cars and people about, but as soon as we got the main shopping street, people and traffic just seemed to appear like in Sim City only to  disappear again the next block over. It's odd seeing a city without cars.

Today myself, Josie and Chrissy walked into town and got the seabus across to the north shore and then a bus to a nice park called Lynn Park with lots of tall pine trees, lakes and people riding bikes. Today was much warmer, like a proper summer day, looks like I arrived at the right time and good  weather seems set to continue.  Tomorrow we'll have a wander round Stanley Park and then I'll head over to Victoria on the ferry to Vancouver island with Josie.

Notes:

• Vancouver is very nice, extraordinarily civilized*
• Got my SIM working, sim card that is. My new (cheap) smart phone can actually be smart now.
• Josie still loves walking 
• Drivers in Canada are very courteous to pedestrians crossing the road

*Except for a bunch of about 15 blokes having an across the street argument last night, it was a 4 way intersection and they kept crossing over shouting at each other, just a lot of puffing out of chests.
