I didn't really go to Vancouver just for 26 hours :) but since I was flying through it to go to Whistler with Arturo, I went to see the few museums I hadn't on my previous trip, and went to Bloedel Floral Conservatory again, just because it's that great :)

Welcome to Vancouver
Early sunset on the bus ride to Whistler
You can read about our time in Whistler here and heli skiing there.
Since weather in Whistler sucked (rain instead of snow), I headed back early and went to see a few museums in Vancouer starting with the science museum. Its open body exposition was good, the rest was "meh"
I have big hands :)
this will keep jennifer up at night :)
I then went to MOA, the Museum of Anthropology:
nice board
local first natives got the short end of the stick, as usual :(
At the end of the day, I drove to Granville Island for a bit of shopping and food:
The next day, I went to the space museum/marine museum/vancouver museum (all in one place). none of the 3 was earth shattering:
And I kept the last hour for the best Bloedel Floral Conservatory, I love this place and its beautiful and yet tame birds:
bathing time
haha, death to you selfie stick users!
small mice were also there to enjoy the food :)
For there, I drove to the airport and got back home. Good little 26 hours in Vancouver...
