We will be mostly posting pictures of our adventures in the Vancouver and Whistler area. If you see something you want to do yourself, just ask your driver and he would love to guide you on your own personalized tour.


Here are some views from a lookout at Stanley Park in Vancouver on tuesday, March 10, 2009. These two pictures are overlooking Burrard Inlet, the Lion's Gate Bridge, and the suburbs of North/West Vancouver.











The park is over 1000 acres big and has huge old-growth cedars and douglas fir trees. There is a smooth asphalt path, known as the "Seawall" (8.8km loop) that follows the coast around the entire park, it is perfect for rollerblading, biking, or walking. You are almost guaranteed to see ducks, Canada geese, Great Blue Herons, and raccoons.

The park also offers the Children's Farmyard, a miniature train, gardens, arts, dining, the Vancouver Aquarium, and lots of sporting activities such as lawn bowling, tennis, or biking. (Bicycles and rollerblades are available for rent nearby)

On our rollerbladding trip on tuesday we saw a few Great Blue Herons and several raccoons suntanning in the trees (I forgot to take pictures because I was so amazed that I was seeing this right in the heart of downtown Vancouver!).

On your limousine ride from the airport to Whistler, the highway takes you through the center of Stanley Park and it is very easy to take a short drive around the park. Don't forget to ask your driver if you would like to stop for some pictures or take a tour.
