Vancouver 26.8.2022

It's cold today in Vancouver.
At least in comparison with yesterday. Temperature dropped from 29 C to 20 C overnight. In addition: no sun and overcast but fortunately no rain forecasted.
A short to my breakfast joint ( Nelson the Seagull ) in Gastown where poached eggs on toasted sourdough bead started the day for me and with a nice flat white on the side I was ready in a jiffy.
The 19 trolley bus just around corner brought me to Stanley Park where a nice relaxing tor in a horse drawn carriage. Two big shirehorses ( Tim & Bob ) pulled our coach along the seashore and across to the fantastic rose gardens.
On my way back into town I jumped of at Robson, one of the main shopping streets. Besides the almost obligatory Starbucks and McDonalds and the international labels there are quite a number of Canadian shops.
With this in mind I choose "Blenz", a local coffee chain, for a nice cup of coffee and a brownie.
A nice walk along the seashore from Stanley Park back to Canada Place was the last of my adventures on this Friday.
With only a brownie for lunch I was longing for something a bit more substantial for dinner and followed the recommendation of a fellow passenger on the ship and went to a tiny local steak house: a nice t-bone, cooked medium-rare with veggies and fries on the side.
Fantastic !
BTW: Later tonight ( at 20:55 ) I have to check-in. Tomorrow is my last day in Canada.
O.K. all done, checked in.
Now lets hope the flight is on time !!
