Day 7 ~ Friday 28th August, 2015

We woke the sound of rain, which was lovely until Steve remembered that he might have left the sunroof open on the hire car. YEP he sure did! So our new hire car was wet – VERY WET inside. Steve had to rush around to find plastic bags to put over everything!

Food poisoning and the flu had taken a hold big time, so Steve rushed me down to the local Dr's surgery, where I discovered that being sick when you are out of your own country will hurt the hip pocket. CA $120 Consultation Fee and then CA$65 for 8 Antibiotic tablets – OUCH! Never-mind – the way I was feeling I would have paid a thousand dollars to feel better.

Steve took me back to the B&B where I went back to sleep and didn't wake until the following day.

Roger and Sally took pity on poor Steve and took him out on a sigh seeing journey of Vancouver Harbour to see the Friday Markets and to have a “pint” of local craft beer. Then they all went out for a walk with Monty the dog, to the local Dam and along some of the local forest paths.

This is Roger & Sally & Monty out on the walk with Steve to the local Dam.

 This is the view from North Vancouver looking back to Vancouver.


Oh and of course they had a Squirrel run across the road as they were heading back – so Steve's got to see one before me!

Steve stayed up late to organise the next day's accommodation as we had to leave Roger & Sally as they were booked up & had to kick us out!  The accommodation was great here - the room was well appointed and spotlessly clean.  The bed was SO comfortable and the pillows - devine!   It made being sick easy - glad I got to make the most of the comfort!  (AUD $110)
