The Livingstones, I presume.

Kate and Muir rocked up last night -- 8 hours from London Town. We chowed down at Red Burrito! (always said with a Mexican accent) -- it's our favourite cheap/easy/reasonably healthy food at the moment -- then we all wandered around a bit before dropping them back at their hotel for some jet lag recovery.

Muir took us to see his latest project:



As you can see, he's quite proud. It's quite an achievement. Kudos to the engineers too, of course.

Today we hired bikes and rode the Stanley Park seawall path. Always wear a helmet, kids.



(yes, this is Katie on an actual bicycle, with Muir and Kate in tow.)

We saw some totem poles:



..and some, er, "beach"? Mmm, very tempting.



..then we went to a supermarket and picked up some nibblies for a late lunch.

They sell non-alcoholic Beck's beer here! (Marty take note!)



This is the first time in a week we've had any real sun shine with actual warmth in it. It was quite nice to bludge down by the water and mock the Canada-at-sea-level sun's attempt to burn us. Ha-ha! Do your worst!





Update: You know how sometimes you don't realise you got burnt until later? Uh, yeah, well thanks a lot Canada-at-sea-level sun, you burnt me.

There's a triathlon on here at the moment and it's a qualifying round for the Beijing Olympics, so there are ridiculously fit people everywhere. None are quite as fit and good looking as Muir or myself though.

Stay tunned! (sic)

Try all the beers you can.
Then, when you come here to Perth in November you'll be sure that Swan really IS the best!

Becks?
Australians would never name a beer after a Pommie footballer. ;)
