Vancouver, Day Two

We got on the bus, got off at the train/bus station to get more information about transport to Victoria.  Doug had a plan for the day, but as we were waiting for the #3 bus to take us to Chinatown, the bus to Stanley Park arrived and we decided to go there instead.  It was a beautiful day and apparently you grab them while you can--the weather is unpredictable, they say.

We walked most of the sea wall around the perimeter of the park along the Pacific and Burrard Inlet, about 4 plus miles. This iconic rock, Siwash Rock, is about one half of the way around by our route. We ate lunch at theTeahouse Restaurant overlooking the ocean.

Since we had so much energy left, we decided to go to Canada Place and view an outdoor self-guided history exhibit about Canada.  We were so close to the Gaslight District that we wandered through there.  Most stores were closing, but we go a sense of the area.  It was the original settlement and is now a revitalized historic district with many shops and restaurants.

Find our bus back, relax a bit before going to a local restaurant for dinner. Then crash.
