Vancouver cont'd

Sorry it's been a while!

Thanks for your messages! The blog is a great idea but it is also another thing to log into along with hotmail, myspace and facebook so please forgive us if initially the are few and far between!

We love this city it is top shelf... we have some highlights and lowlights for you...

Highlights... the city being so close to some ski fields, the people are very freindly, you can choose to pay for public transport if you want (yes you can get in trouble for it), you can get a slice of pizza for $1.50, sushi is dead cheap, did we mention the public transport is good, we've been ski-ing twice in a week, Canadians have th funniest accents... right... eh, and we have found a place to live a one bedroom apartment in Downtown Vancouver!

Lowlights... the amount of homeless people... unbeleivable, its cold we aren't used to it, the hostel we booked into was a bit dodgy, Simon shrinking Zoe's clothes in the dryer... whooops... that turned into a highlight for Zoe... new clothes!

So basically we can't wait to travel around America and then we can't wait to get back from travelling around America to settle into our new place... Soon we are heading to Disneyland, brilliant... forgive us if we are repeating anything from the last blog... Update from San Fran soon! Love Mitch n Zobo xoxo

Grabbing a hot dog on Robson Street Hitting the Granville Island markets on a Sunday morning Chinatown: This is all of the dried food we were talking about in the first blog... unreal! Bloody dried everything! One day we saw a pigeon picking its way through some of it... note to self... do not buy dried food from Chinatown: May contain bird flu!

Ah man......does Stuart have bad Hotdog envy now. Maybe if we do make it to NY you two guys could have a hot-dog eating competition (Me and Zoe will just laugh and watch - unless you're a big hotdog muncher too Zoe). We're so jealous guys.....you're pics look amazing. It looks like you're having a wicked time. Can't wait to read about yoru Disney adventures. Did you go to Carmel and Monterray on the way down from San Fran to LA? I love those little places. Anyway we're just at your nan and pops for Easter Sunday which is lovely. Larry the Lazer has been doing us proud - we are so loving having a car and being able to go to the beach and up into the hills. We've left your little touches in tact though....the Liverpool shirt and pink ribbon...just to remind us of you....and have added our own....a postcard of the giant koala we got on the way down to Melbourne.
Wishing you guys so much fun.
Lots of love
Cat and Stu xxxx
