Vancouver 7.8.2022
07/08/22 15:55
Weather forecast for today:
. in short: very sunny and warm.
What's on the agenda for today ?
Well after breakfast I'm going on "Hop-on Hop-off tour of Vancouver" to explore amongst other things Stanley Park the 405-hectare big public park in Vancouver.
I have been here last time when I visited Vancouver but didn't explore everything.
But first things first: Breakfast at "Nelson the Seagull" a place recommend to me by friends in Gastown, a short walk from my hotel.
All baked goods are been baked on the premises, recommendable is their sourdough bread.
Having enjoyed my very good breakfast ( I will come again ! ) a leisurely stroll to Canada place where my Hop-on Hop-off
Bus is departing.
For the next 1 ¾ hour the bus meandered across Vancouver giving me a good impression about the city and its various and diverse quarters. Did I hop-off ? No, not during the first round.
Reaching my starting point I decided to stay on till the "Stanley Park" stop.
This huge about 405 h big park is not really a park but mainly a unique urban jungle, showing how this part of Vancouver looked like when the first people settled here.
A little miniature train, one of many attractions in the park, had to be checked out.
A leisurely stroll to the shore of the Burrard Inlet gave fantastic views of the Lions Gate bridge
and North Vancouver.
Stanley Park is really the main place for the local people to enjoy. An extensive cycle network ( all following a strict one-way system ) was this also a paradise for cyclists, skaters and the like. Water parks with fountains for the much younger ones who enjoy splashing about.
The city bus brought me back into town where a coffee in a lovely little coffee shop brought my stamina back.
A final stroll to Canada place just to check if the "Roald Amundsen" had already arrived. No, she hasn't but two other ships must have arrived this morning and are been supplied to get ready very likely later in the afternoon.
Another exiting day finished.
