Vancouver nicknamed “City of Mirrors”- certainly lots of mirror glass and some stunning reflections, one building on another. I had a great day wandering, window shopping and admiring the beautiful harbour views while Mark conferenced. I got the best deal!

Named after  Captain Vancouver , the city has a rich history back to the First Nations people. Ethnically very diverse (52% have first language other than English), with an estimated population of 2.4 million in greater metropolitan area. The city sits on the Burrard Inlet at the mouth of the Fraser River and has distinct neighbourhoods.

We were last here in 2008 and managed quite a bit of sightseeing then, so not the same sightseeing rush and a different focus this time round.
