Vancouver's a waypoint for us on the journey to Bella Bella, in northern British Columbia, an Indian band village so remote it has no cellphone or Internet connection outside the immediate environs of the village. Salmon and halibut, and the prospect of catching thereof, are why we're journeying to Bella Bella and so why we're in Vancouver.
Our 100 year old hotel, actually a backpacker hostel in ancient livery, is well located, very cheap, a little noisy if you, like us, have a front room, but clean.
Less than five minutes' walk away is Gastown, adjacent to the port and the convergence point for all means of transport except the latest, the jet airliner. But you can hop a floatplane nearby and head off for a scenic flight.
Tomorrow morning we leave from Vancouver airport’s South Terminal for the one hour flight north. Hope the salmon and halibut are biting.
