The camping begins - At Harrison


Harrison is 1 1/2 hrs from Vancouver and is the most beautiful place to spend a weekend camping.
We spent "BC Day" long weekend doing just that!










There was plenty of water to go around... waterfalls, lakes - and oh yeah - a constant pouring of rain!





















The rain didn't dampen Dave's spirits - although the endless close ups didn't make him jump for joy. (Can't you just read "Dan - why another photo?" on his face?)
















The view of the top from an old logging road (which our rental car really didn't thank us for!)...




















and a sunnier view from the bottom















Luke, Dad and all those fisherman out there - this one's for you















Harrison Lake




















Our camping site















and our camping site again (on the cold chilly Spring(!) morning)

At play in the city...



A beautiful view for a picnic on the seawall (about 10minutes from our home)

















Sundays at White Rock (just on the American border)












Dave must be laughing at the fact that Canadians consider this beach to be the best in Vancouver. They really do describe this sand as ... yep, white. Little to they know eh?!
















Dave showing them all how the Aussies do it!















Uh huh! This really is cricket... in Vancouver! Although it was a local Pakistani team, we were tempted to cheer... "Aussie Aussie Aussie" (you know the rest!)















The ice cream shop-filled street of Bondi (oops - we mean, White Rock)















The wonderful world of Deep Cove is Dan's favourite place - well, one of them! - in the city




















But we can't really go past our street -















Or even Lighthouse Park (the last point on the Vancouver peninsula)














Which one would you choose?
