Tourist bonanza: Botanical Gardens

Best job perk ever - for the next six weeks we get free admission into all tourist attractions in and around Vancouver. Incredible.

Today we went to UBC Botanical Gardens, which is a seven mile bike ride from our apartment (and we did this journey on a hangover, feeling every mile intensely).

The gardens were delightful! Full of a huge variety of flowers, plans & trees. This was my favourite flower - remains me of a Christmas decoration:


We also did a 'tree walk' across a number of cleverly constructed platforms. Check it out:


Overall a worthwhile visit & one which we hope to go back to see again - with a large picnic in hand!
