For the past two weeks, I’ve been travelling Western Canada. Over 14 days, my stops included Vancouver, Whistler, Banff, and Calgary. In the next couple of days, I’ll be sharing pictures from my vacation; a grand vacation of endless mountainous views and the spectacular Canadian Rockies – which stretches from Bow Valley to Jasper, Alberta.

But let me start in Vancouver, British Columbia – a lively, confident city with upscale shops, organic restaurants and a 22 km scenic seawall path.

You’ll get the best views on the Burrard Inlet waterfront, behind Canada Place, with an afternoon stroll through English Bay, or with a visit to the Harbour Centre and the Vancouver Lookout – a $16 dollar ticket will allow you all-day access.

But I love most about Vancouver? The view at sundown.
