Round and about--------- Vancouver

Before we moved on to Part 4 of our big adventure, we spent a few days in Vancouver. Here are some of our brief encounters.
Hop on-hop off bus for the day. First port of call, Stanley Park.
Sadly, Allan has a totem pole growing out of his head!!! Just 1 or 2inches either way and it might have been a decent photo!

Lions' Gate Bridge, one of the busiest routes into Vancouver.
Unavoidable if you have come on the ferry but very impressive.
The sequence of traffic lights changes according to the volume of traffic.

Gastown. A quaint little place.
This is the world's first steam-powered clock. The weights, chimes and whistle are operated solely by steam power.   Amazing!!!
