Well after nearly two weeks, we had our first sleep in getting out of bed around 09:30 and not hitting the footpath until just before 11. Today we walked to Granville Island over the Granville Bridge and visited the Granville markets where Connie had her first Coca Cola for the trip. We spent most of our time in the food areas admiring the wide range of fruits and vegetables.
There are many arts and crafts stalls as well and talented buskers all over the place. They have criminal seagulls around the markets that will steal any food you don't keep an eye on. There are even signs warning you that unguarded food will most likely be taken by the birds. Pretty entertaining to watch while having lunch.
After a couple of hours we decided it was time to move on and we caught the ferry across to David Lam park. The ferries are small and pretty cute. Check out the photo.
People here just love their pets and in particular, dogs. They are everywhere including departments stores, supermarkets and even in restaurants. Not as bad as Paris though where one person told us they saw a german shepherd being fed at the table by the owner with a fork!! There are some amazing pet stores and dog spas around the place with all sorts of accessories, garments and jewelry!

After a tour of the park we headed into Yaletown where I had a haircut in a salon run by chinese women with 3 little dogs (see comment above ;-). Interesting. I was getting my hair cut while a little fluffy pekanese dog sat on its pillow making sure everything was going right…
By the way Tessa, we saw someone driving your R8 convertible. Sounded really nice.

After the haircut, a bit more walking, shopping and finished up having a steak at The Keg for the first time since leaving Australia, and it was very nice. Can't get used to the pricing here as everything is ex GST and depending on which state you are in the GST is different. It's pretty annoying to be honest. Their notes are very similar to ours though which is so much better than the american greenback.
That's pretty much it for today. A little laid back and down a gear or two from previous days.
Once again, enjoy the photos. :-)
