More friends reunited!...

Hosts Jan and Rick's house is perched on a hillside in North Vancouver, with magnificent views to the southwest (Mount Baker, 3285 metres high and 100 miles away can be seen!) and treetops, great for bird watching - especially the hummingbirds. They have been on lots of "bike and boat" holidays, which sound a great idea, accommodation on a small cruise boat which stops at lots of biking destinations, especially good for island-filled countries like Croatia.
They watched a bear visiting their garden recently! We were hoping for his return but no luck.


Jan takes us for a walk in a mountain forest park called Lynn Canyon - dotted with water falls and a vertiginous suspension walkway over a very deep gorge.


She also arranges for us to join her and 2 cycling friends for a bike tour of Vancouver's Gastown, a pretty, historic centre with a steam-driven clock, and Chinatown (the biggest one in the world outside China).
In the afternoon we meet up with Janet and Ian, unmistakeable on their new yellow tandem. Then we go off to our separate WarmShowers hosts for the evening, arranging to meet in the morning to head for the border!
