In the plane Robin kept the other passengers awake by running laps in the rear end. He enjoys runnning. He has so much energy. We too enjoy his running, it makes him tired in the end, without getting us completly tired too.

Th last thing about flying to Vancouver.... If ever you do have to switch planes in the US, don't change in Chigaco. Lasts year we changes in Chigaco, this year it was Portland. What a difference!! So much more friendly in Portland...

And so we entered Canada, or as Robin says "Kanana". Without much delay, the immigrtion service only took 15 minutes or so. We rented a car and drove "home". It doesn't feel like home yet.... It's a very empty appartement. Besides the 80 kg of things we brought with us in the plane it is empty here. In about 5 weeks all other items we shipped here will arrive. Untill then we will have to camp in our appartement. Robin is the onlyt one of us who has his own bed. Bas and I are sleeeping on our thermarest matresses on the floor. Happy to have a roof over our heads and and soft carpet under our feet and matresses.

And then our first day after our first night. Getting to know the place just a little... Shopping, the mall is just across the street. It seems to have all basic shops we need, how convenient. We only saw one problem.... How do you get the things you buy back to your appartement. Simpel things like baking oil comes in cans upto 5 liter. Icecream comes in 5 liter packs aswell.... not to mention diapers, peanutbutter or milk. What we did find in normal size was real "de Ruijter hagelslag", strangely enough (for us) in the baking section :)

And apart form getting the both of us a cell phone (in a short while we probably need to get a third one for Robin), getting Robin to take a nap, and walking around near Lonsdale (nothing wrong with that name here)and the waterfront we hardly did a thing.

Tomorrow we will have a whole new day exploring North Vancouver. On our lists for tommorow "buying a car".......
