麻豆传媒映画

is the piece I did on The Empress flying over some piping hot tea to make the announcement of the partnership. The Fairmont Waterfront was also nice enough to host us last week so we could check out the view of the Helijet landing pad and other awesomeness, posing as tourists in our own city.

I don't go many places (aside from the V.I.A. office) without our , two year old Arlo. Here he is below taking a look out of our room and down at the 麻豆传媒映画Heliport, otherwise known as Helijet HQ. It's that dock on the right, in the middle.

		Recently the in 麻豆传媒映画and the in Victoria announced a partnership with Vancouver's own . This partnership resulted in you now getting 15% off Helijet rates if you're a member of the Fairmont President鈥檚 Club (which is free to join) along with the best available hotel rates.

We were thrilled to see a Helijet flight taking off from it (he was a little more thrilled than I, but I still thought it was cool). Highlighted is the blackberry bush I recently did a quick on and which might still have a few berries clinging to it.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that early in the season the blackberry brambles over at Helijet are pollinated mostly by the 400,000 honeybees that make their residence in hives on the deck of the 3rd floor of the Fairmont Waterfront. Last year they harvested hundreds of pounds of honey from these hives. And yes you read that right: hundreds of pounds. Here's photographic proof of some of it: a of my coffee that I sweetened with honey that I bought at the Waterfront a few months back, and an image I grabbed of one of the hives.

Not far from the beehives is the rooftop herb garden which is home to a bunch of ingredients used in the hotel restaurant's menu.

Coriander.

Dill (or is it fennel?).

I have no idea what this one is but I like the way the morning dew gathers on its leaves.

Various types of mint can also be found up here.

I'll leave you with this photo I shot from our room of a freighter hiding in the early morning fog out in the Burrard Inlet.

Visit Fairmont.com/Waterfront for info on rates and of course the Helijet partnership.
