Had a wonderful winter Christmas in Vancouver — it was more of a grey affair than white, but certainly still a contrast to Christmas on the beach back home, with much less sunburn. Ended up with three Christmas dinners, (two either side of the main day) and ate my weight in gastronomic gold. Highlight had to be the Christmas day turkey and a sweet potato casserole with marshmellow topping — which was definitely something new. Managed to polish off the remaining stocks of coffee-porters I brought back from the brewery in Tofino — the latest addition to the list of delicious BC craft beers that I've picked up on my travels. I've also decided breakfast beersies should be adopted as a new tradition, as Hefeweizen along with a stack of buttermilk banana pancakes, covered in maple syrup, breakfast-sausages and bacon are my new best friends.
I didn't manage too many photo opportunities amongst all the eating and drinking, but did get a handful Christmas morning, unwrapping presents around the tree.
New years eve was spent playing
cards against humanity, braving a rather cruel drinking game, watching the sunrise, and demolishing another tower of maple-soaked pancakes. Went to see The Imitation Game on New Years day which was fantastic, and ended up going to bed early to recover, just shy of 2am — so
somewhat early.
I should be coming to the tail end of the Vancouver leg, I've certainly spent a lot longer here than I originally thought, but I'm definitely glad — equally as much that I've yet to be kicked out, and I'm enjoying having absolutely no plans set. Will miss Vancouver when I finally set off, but I know I'll be off on another adventure.
