Since we already had last night in Nuremberg the day-before check-in used by Air Berlin, we could leave today, tomorrow. 8.30am, we left with our tickets to the airport on time and were an hour before the flight there. However, since the machine was 30 minutes late, it went on until 10:35 clock to Dusseldorf. During boarding it was observed then that we were booked on another flight Dusseldorf. No, we were not wrong but they had merged, only the flight of the morning with our and our tickets were issued to the wrong flight number. Once we and the other passengers had new tickets, it went off. Our concerns, that 2 hours is not enough residence, were unfounded, because we could stay the same in the security zone and only had a passport check. At the transfer desk of Air Berlin, we learned that we were at issue the new ticket Nuremberg kindly same for our flight to Vancouver had checked out. As the machine but still had 100 free places, thank God it was not a problem to be re-booked. Now it was so anxious 10 hours, that not only we, but our luggage got the connecting flight.
Also, our flight to Vancouver had had fifteen minutes late as 4 passengers due to a lack of visa does not fly were allowed and the baggage again unloaded the cargo hold, the case had to be searched, and then the other case, reloading. After all, we were sitting directly behind one of the partitions in the middle and thus had the luxury of extra legroom and free of charge. The flight was quiet, boring and almost too long, but we came to clock 0:05 (GMT) and 15.05 clock Pacific Time at the airport in Vancouver. After the usual immigration procedures we waited at the baggage collection .... and waited and waited ... then another officer came with a dog. And of course the dog was just with me and are thoroughly sniffed. The dog responds well to food, you may not introduce to Canada. With my statement that in the last 24 hours in the backpack most times was a sandwich, the owner then gave peace to it quickly and I escaped just as the body search. Meanwhile, back came Cases on the tape, and lo and behold, we were under it safely, and complete. Let's get out and the car rental office. In Alamo, we got a PT Cruiser. The cases also fit into the trunk, the only drawback: lack the cover to boot, and one can now see from the outside, what is in the same. Also on demand at Alamo we only got the reply that these covers are good to go missing and we simply should not be in the car - suitcases with clothes you would not even steal. Well, we wait for it and see.
Thanks to my navigation device, we were determined out to our accommodation B & B Light Heart Inn in Vancouver. This expected us already and the host Greg took us the apartment. The room is nicely appointed, and for our one night we are not sure the kitchen and laundry facilities need. Over coffee and fruit Greg told us how we can best Vancouver Downtown and what we do in the remaining 1.5 hours still could. Because it is already here, the sun (19h). Even the weather is very nice, bright blue skies and 20 ° C.
The skytrain we arrived within 15 minutes to the waterfront. This is also the Canada Place, which was part of the Expo exhibition 1986th Along the Seawall, a beautiful promenade, in the background, the glittering skyscrapers, across town, we reached the other side of the downtown peninsula, just in time to see the sun go down. Under the Granville Bridge we came through in the trendy district of Yaletown and then took back for Skytrain. It is now makes 3 clock at night in Germany and that time is now also apparent to us.
