Vancouver, British Columbia
We flew to Vancouver to board the cruise ship. Before boarding we spent two days sightseeing around town.
Here are few drone pictures taken on our way to Stanley Park.

Around town in our rental
Its a Dodge Charger. It was a joy to drive this around town.
Only a few thousand KMs.
Arriving at our hotel. And no, not everything was able to fit inside the trunk, it was all about finding and making space to stow.
But then of course either one of these ones would be even better. But not much trunk space. Stow cap was high.
Gastown Steam Clock - antique-style clock is powered by steam & whistles to tell the time. I was sitting inside the Charger figuring out all the power options available. The car had more options tuning the engine than tuning the radio speakers.
This is cheery blossom blooming season. Usually we see snow on the back of cars. But obviously people are equally lazy here.
Vancouver Chinatown.
The Sam Kee Building, located at 8 West Pender Street in Vancouver, is the "narrowest commercial building in the world" according to the Guinness Book of Records. The dark green section is the width of the building, yep, that’s all there is.
Waterfront Station at Granville and W Gordova.
Aberdeen Centre
Richmond, BC
Part of the reason for this cruise was to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We have known each other for over 33 years.
Dinesty Dumpling House. Best beef noodle ever. They use 靚牛展，唔係用牛腩. 1719 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC
Cruise Ship Terminal
Look, state of the art underground drop off for cruise-bound passengers on the Canadian side. Compare this to when we disembark over at Seattle. Huge difference.
Nice and clean and roomy.
Special lanes for the tour bus
This is from inside the Pan Pacific Hotel lobby, which is connected to the cruise ship terminal. I worked at the foreign exchange office just 20 steps away from here a few times years ago.
