As we were checking into our hotel downtown Vancouver last night we noted that it was 9.30pm or 5.30 am at Moyhill so about 19 hours travelling including a 90 min delay at Heathrow because of a severe thunderstorm which disrupted the departures programme.
Managed a glass or two of fizz, a reasonable meal - as airline food goes - an excellent Californian Chardonnay and equally good Pinot Noir, two movies - the Coen Brothers 'Hail Caesar' and Tarantino's 'Hateful Eight' - which were both excellent and a couple of hours kip - so almost a perfect journey apart from the slight delay.
We are staying at the
Skwachays Lodge which is described as an 'Aboriginal Hotel and Gallery' and in addition to being comfortable and very stylish is also an interesting social enterprise. There's a good chance that at least one piece from their Gallery will be coming home with us.
Because of the delayed arrival, we just managed a quick Thai meal and decided to skip the night club - although there were some interesting characters in the streets as we walked home - maybe tonight we will feel more like sampling the nightlife.
Glad to hear that you made it safe and sound, welcome to Canada
