Videos

Just about as boring as a slide show, but if you're keen to see some video, look here.

This is it

Well, here are the last lot of photos for the blog. Sure there are more floating around, but you'll have to see us in person to get the lot, or just be satisfied with the stories we tell. A bunch will be going on Facebook so if you can't get enough of us, have a look there too.

Sopho and Josh moved to the apartment next door, bigger and better with a familiar view that looked particularly awesome on this day:


Sopho being the bestest hostess around. Ice cream, cherry ripe and yes...booze


Our home for a few weeks, the 2 windows on the bottom left. It snowed for the last 3 days that we were in Van. Locals whinged but it was pretty exciting for us. Snowflakes as big as cotton balls. Never seen anything like it.

Josh and Sopho took us to eat the best burgers in Vancouver. Chips, cheese, gravy and onion rings weren't bad either.

The boys went out to an indoor skate park party (owned by an Aussie), saw the China Creeps play and took some nice B&W that makes it look like the early days of punk.



Nice shot of downtown Vancouver on our last day. The sun also decided to come out for once.



Last drinks at Boneta.

Just around the corner - Blood Alley. Apparently the most haunted spot in Vancouver, there are a few stories about this spot, surrounding butchers used to hose blood into the alley at the end of each day, public executions were held here, murders, muggings...

Now it's just crackies fishing from bins. But seriously the whole Gastown area is pretty cool, we spend a bunch of our time here. Not long before this photo was taken, there was a fella dancing around half naked.

Last meal - wings! 

Bye cracky bike! Take good care of it Yass.

Airport goodbyes.


So, that's the end of it. Thanks for watching. Vids will be uploaded on Youtube...We'll prob hang on to the blog for the next holiday adventure. Until then, see ya!

Toss The Sophie

Here's some action - Dre introducing the game to Josh




Andre and Neil of Boneta playing "Toss The Sophie" this pic is priceless

We ate Vancouver

Van family made sure we ate and drank well.

By far our fave was Boneta - food and drink to die for. Wish we got more time to spend at Chambar, but we still made it the first night we were in town, food and drinks were incredible.

Other spots we grazed and sipped (in no paticular order):

Sopho and Josh took us to Salt. YUM!
It's getting great reviews with a few whingers saying that the location in Blood Alley is no good. I think that's all part of the fun.


Shebeen Whisky House - Sample some of the finest.

The Greedy Pig - late night drop ins

The Cascade Room - cocktails aplenty
