First meal in Vancouver

We arrived in Vancouver and there was a Canada goose there to greet us right outside the train station.

Before long we had made it to our hotel (Exchange Hotel). It was before checkin time, so our room wasn't quite ready, but we were able to drop off our luggage and head out into the city.

The hotel building was the original stock exchange in Vancouver. The building was completely remodeled, so there's no interesting historical architecture to be seen on the inside.

First stop was a cleaners to drop off our dirty laundry. Then, a few blocks away was Nightingale restaurant. I wasn't feeling up to drinking yet, so Russell drank for both of us. The food was great and just what we needed.

The hotel called with our room number before we had finished our meal so we were able to go straight back to the room.

I decided I needed a nap so Russell went off to rent a bike and bike around the city for a couple hours.

After he got back, it was time for him to nap. Our clean laundry was delivered, and I took a Covid test just to make sure (negative).

Russell told me about a bike tour that looked good that was run by the same shop that he rented from, so we decided to book that online for tomorrow morning and just call it a night.Read more
