Vancouver - Stanley Park

Breakfast was omelette and toast. Weather hot and sunny today again.

We caught buses to Denman Street where we rented bikes for the day.


We cycled round Stanley Park which borders downtown Vancouver. This also has hiking trails across it so we walked a bit too. There's lots of wildlife too, geese, herons, squirrels etc.


A Polish woman was feeding a family of raccoons which seemed happy to come right up to her.


Before handing the bikes back we also cycled along to Canada Place, a cruise terminal and convention centre.


Later we walked the length of Robson Street, the main shopping thoroughfare in the city. There were beanbags laid out in Robson Square which came in handy for a rest.


The buses in Vancouver have cycle racks mounted on the front.


We walked to Chinatown for dinner visiting a traditional Chinese park on the way.


We caught the bus back to Kitsilano and had a drink in the Wings bar.
