Where the Wild Things Are - Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria

I look at the Merchant of Venice, in a huge tent next to the Pacific at Bard on the Beach in Vancouver. The back of the unit is open and is located just off the dealer's head, an eagle being attacked by a flock of seagulls. A seaplane is on English Bay and a cruise ship sails past flying their way to Alaska. When the sun goes down, the lights go up on the summit of the mountain, Vancouver winter skiing in the mountains, and all the time, cyclists runners, skaters andPounds along the path of the nearby sea.

This is Vancouver - intelligent, breathtakingly beautiful, with its wild origins from time to time to walk through a scene from Shakespeare. Not surprisingly, Vancouver is regularly voted "World's Most liveable city" by the British Institute Mercer.

suggests that the Royal Pacific Blue - In addition to China Town, a visitor from Vancouver would do well to be on the west side of town. A popular excursion is to a ferry to the public bath-toy fabulousMarket on Granville Island, where the huge red salmon is the fish dealers, are a reminder of another of the Wild BC.

Perhaps Stanley Park, Vancouver 1000 acres of forest adjacent to the center of the city, sums up the spirit of this city. I rent a bike and ride through the park 6.5 miles from the sea wall by Chinese families in shoes, totem poles and the thick, dark forest - the scene of so many "X Files" episodes. There are sandy beaches here, the Japanesecurrent sweeps and weather is warm enough for swimming. At the end of the dam I decided that I deserved a break in one of the many cafes or ice cream parlors that line the nearby Denman Street in the West End of Vancouver. When I leave, I stop to admire a very English Rose Garden - that's British Columbia - when I see a warning sign me coyote.

If Vancouver is a "baby boomer who has retained the form of yoga and cycling to work, and then Whistler is a guy in baggy snowboardPants, Victoria and her grandmother in primary pearls. But they all share the yard, the spectacular British Columbia.

The Sea to Sky Highway, runs from Vancouver to Whistler is probably one of the most beautiful in the world with the royal blue, fjord-like Howe Sound on one side and mountains on the other. If this road between November and February, making a brief stop in the north of Brackendale Squamish, where the largest gathering ofbald eagles in North America in the winter semester. The Brackendale Art Gallery and Tea House are among the host of the eagle.

At first glance, Whistler seems to be a different kind of Wild Life-host. The country, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games hosts, attracts snowboarders and mountain bikers that beer cold and strong as their music. But peace can be one of four golf courses or one of the sweet-marked walks from the town center to find.Better yet, take the funicular to the top of the mountain, and take the little exhausting Harmony Loop Trail, where the feeling on top of Canada.

Whistler, according to his neighbors, the gray marmot whose reputation has been appointed as a whistle. But to see a real adventure, wild life, join the local "Bear Man" Michael Allen in one of his trips to his beloved summer twilight bears blacks for their evening forage for berries. Whistler Tourist Office provides information on tours andbe in contact with Michael.

After all that wild, it's time for tea. Probably the most exciting and romantic way to afternoon tea in the Empress Hotel in Victoria, a tour by seaplane from Vancouver Harbour and Victoria Harbour, just minutes from the large opulent Empress tea. Vancouver skyscrapers suddenly seemed so distant, as it flies over Victorian cottage next to the hotel dock and venerable.

If Victoria is the primaryWidow of the trio, then perhaps this is the place for some quiet activity. The Royal British Columbia Museum across the street from the hotel is one of the best museums in Canada. You have to show a great nation before the touching story of First Nations says. In sharp contrast, the Emily Carr House is on a nice dirt road between the Empress and the Pacific Ocean, a taste of the past of Victoria and an extraordinary woman. Emily Carrwas a painter and writer, a contemporary of feisty Georgia O'Keefe, who has a Canadian organization.

The glorious Butchart Gardens float a visit in any season, but also in the first Victoria, wild creatures very close to the edge of this peaceful city, with its double-decker carriages and coaches. Several portions of Orcas, or killer whales, their home just outside the harbor. A visitor can finish his tea cream, foot, raft of the Zodiac in 1255the port and the wounding of a few minutes skimming across the Pacific to see an orca in the bay. This is the strange and wonderful mix of refinement and savagery, British Columbia.
