The camper

We got up early, mainly because of the jet lag, and headed off to pick up the camper. It's one of the smallest they have, but it's still massive when you're driving it. It's a Ford van conversion with shower, wc, microwave etc... The bed is above the front seats so not much headroom, but I think it will be ok. We went straight from the RV pickup to a camp site in Bernaby just outside Vancouver. We had our first "backing up" adventure and managed not to break anything. We then went to a nearby shopping mall, then onto Vancouver using a monorail they call the skyway. We had a bit of a stroll round, I bought a gps and some clothes from an outdoor shop, ate at a restaurant in gastown (oldest part of Vancouver) then came back to the campsite. It's now 21:30 and I'm ready for bed. No running today, but a lot of walking.
