Vancouver day 3

Underworld 4 was filming in this alleyway (unfortunately only discovered set as they were clearing away).

I went to Gastown today. This is the steam clock . As you can see it was fully working when I was there :) really cool.

Had lunch is a cafe called Cafe BuonGiorno. The Everton v Fulham football (soccer) match was on the tv. ha ha. Also went to a old book store. I could have easily spend hours in there.

For dinner, I went to 'Nooks' restaurant on Robson Street for pizza. Below is a pic of the mountains, from Robson Street.

I'm obsessed with these mountains.

After that I went to La Casa Gelato. http://www.lacasagelato.com It has 218 flavours of ice cream!! Amazing place. I need to come back here one day when i haven't given up chocolate for charity (see JustGiving link to the right) I needed really good self control, wasn't easy. After trying some of the crazy flavours (curry flavour ice cream??) I settled on vanilla and butterscotch which was extremely nice!

This is the view from Cloud 9 bar/restaurant. http://www.cloud9restaurant.ca 42nd floor! The lift goes up 1 floor a second, and the restaurant revolves 360 degrees so you see all of Vancouver. Crazy.. and the view was just wow. I also saw the super moon from this restaurant :)

Vancouver day 2

Pic above is inside Orpheum theatre, where Rob Pattinson was filming Breaking Dawn a few days ago. (and where Underworld 4 filmed later today) Nice theatre/set right ?

view from hotel window vancouver + mountains :)

I went food shopping in the morning. So much choice, and different to England. I had to ask my roomie lots of questions *blush*. I didn't think things would be so different. This is my first time out of Europe. Minor culture shock, the food, crossing the road (no button to push to change the lights?), trying to talk in Canadian or American, as lots of words are different. I did lots of sightseeing today. I walked to Burrard inlet (see pic above). I'm shocked at how close the city is to the mountains. It's stunning. I saw a fire engine and took a pic and the firemen waved ha ha. Am on a mission to see/take a pic of a police car whilst i'm here now..

The streets all look like a movie set to me as that's the only time i've seen them. I know Vancouver is the same as most Canadian and American cities. Am getting used to it slowly.

Ate something I've never had before (and probably never will again..), Buffalo! It was really nice :)

I spent evening at @robbedmyheart s apartment watching Rob Pattinson interview on Jay Leno show :)
