Farns Niente

Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

  • Not an island beside not a creek
    After a lazy morning we headed off for an audio tour of Granville Island, exploring and lunching at the very fun GV Public Market. Then took one of a cute little Aquabus up False Creek. Took the excellent metro back to the hotel and had happy hour/dinner at the Club Room before packing for early (7:00 am) start on our train adventure!
