After a good nights sleep ( I had to catch up due to the previous nights moving sleep adventure ) I was ready for the day. But what would be a start into a day without a nice breakfast. No nothing fancy just a simple almond croissant and a large vanilla latte and I was ready.

Having been in Vancouver twice in the past and also at the beginning of this tour I decided to see the things I did not yet see. So I hopped on the next bus and went all the way to Stanley Park.

This densly forested 405 acre big park is named after Lord Stanley who was from 1888 -1893 the Governor General of Canada. He dedicated this park which is now one of the great Vancouver attraction bordered by the English Bay and the Burrard Inlet ie almost surrounded by water.

From here one has fantastic views of the Vancouver skyline



and walk the waterfront path and explore the various little attractions along the way like for example the Totem posts



and again various other views



I spend the whole morning in this fantastic park and managed to be back in town in the early afternoon to refresh myself with a lite bite. Whilst munching away I decided to "finish" the day with something culturally: cinema. Today is was the first day of the new "Downton Abbey" movie. So why not watching something quintessentially British in Canada ?
A cinema showing this movie is only a block away from my hotel and a ticket was quickly bought. It was a great experience !
( Spoiler alert: Maggie Smith has got all the good lines in this movie ! )

After the show it was already dark outside and so I strolled leisurely back to my hotel watched a bit TV and called it a day.

Tomorrow evening I will have an even bigger cultural event on my agenda. So watch this space !
