We did have good fish and chips on our last day in Vancouver, of course you have to choose between Halibut or Cod.
I wouldn’t mind if you could buy that seaside smell in a can 😉
Bird-man probably lives on one of the small islands and posed only after we gave him a few Loonies.

Thanks 😉
We were very lucky.
It was one of our best vacations ever, but I think we are still going to appreciate our caravan a lot.
