Holiday/Vancouver/November
Hi all,
90% sure I'm coming over for a couple of weeks for a nice little holiday from New Zealand. Coming over with a couple of mates (2-3) who plan on doing a work/skiing holiday type thing, but I will be on fulltime holiday as I already have a job :-). Wanted to know of any good blog-type holiday touristy type informational sites around. I've been casually nosing around for a few weeks now, found a couple of things. I quite prefer the user reply rather than a companies speil on things. Hopefully this is the right group (can't really find any better ones) to post in, apologies if it's not. So, what are some of top things I should look at doing when I hit town? (Male, 34 blokey kinda stuff) Cheers Matt |

So do not have to go to Whistler. Grouse Mt., Cypress, and another i can not remember. Whistler is the nicest and a lot more upscale. |

Holiday/Vancouver/November
Well, November is the bleakest month to be in Vancouver unfortunately.
The hours are short (it gets dark around 5 pm) and it's usually very rainy. Not cold enough for snow on the mountains and generally not ideal to be out on the water. The clouds generally block any view of the mountains, so it's just... bleak. However, all is not lost. It might be sunny - who's to say. You can still do many things, but you won't be seeing Vancouver at its nicest. Just be aware of that so you don't get disappointed at seeing a whole lot of grey. II was going to send you a link to Virtual Tourist, which sounds like the kind of website you were hoping to find. It's basically a community of traveller who write tips and pointers on their travels. www.virtualtourist.com On Jul 22, 8:21 pm, "Matt Scott" wrote: Hi all, 90% sure I'm coming over for a couple of weeks for a nice little holiday from New Zealand.
