Vancouver is a very pretty city and our city tour only reinforced that this morning. We left the hotel just after 7.30 as we were lucky enough to be allowed to enter Capilano Park early. That meant we had the suspension bridge to ourselves. The view from the bridge really is beautiful if you have the courage to open your eyes. I made it all the way across and back - even have a certificate to prove it!!! The park itself is a temperate rainforest almost in the middle of the city.
We then made our way to Stanley Park to view the First Nation Totems. They really are spectacular. We toured the sea wall taking in exceptional views of the city skyline.
Our lunch stop today was at the art and craft centre right on the water's edge on Granville Island. The weather was a warm 30 degrees. It was lovely wandering the stalls looking at the wonderful range of artisan goods.
Tonight is our last night in the lovely old Fairmont Vancouver. We are up very early tomorrow (bag pull is at 5.30am) before boarding the Rocky Mountaineer for our two day train trip to Lake Louise. Tomorrow night is spent in Kamloops and Internet may not be available. Will update as soon as we are able.
