We have a busy day today. We have a 4hour bus tour around Vancouver this morning. Also another trip later this afternoon/ evening - Clive's surprise!
Have a great breakfast and we are collected to go to the pickup point. This is a tour Clive had booked. He has planned the whole trip - it must have taken ages. I don't want to know what trips we have. Each day will be a surprise for me.
There are 16 of us on the bus. We have a great and informative guide/ driver, Danny. We go to Stanley Park. A fantastic place. We see the Totem Poles- I will put a couple photos for you to see. They are amazing. It was the White Man that called them Totem Poles, they are really story poles. We then make our way to Granville Island. A fantastic waterfront market and Artisan area. Most of us could have spent a day there. Great food hall. All local trades people - fabulous home made food.
We then travel on and make our way to the view point tower. We go up in glass bubble lifts, it was brilliant. You have a 360 view over the city.
We make our way back to the hotel for a much deserved rest. Clive tells me to be ready for 6.30pm. He also says I should get dressed up! Off we go. We have a taxi to the water front - guess its to a restaurant - no, we go on a Sunset Dinner Harbour Cruise. It was on a paddle steamer boat- I loved it. What a lovely evening. We sailed around the harbour and out to catch the sunset. We were lucky it was a beautiful evening. We had musical entertainment and a fab meal. It was such a friendly group. Everyone taking pictures of each other on the ship. We leave around 9.30.
It was a fantastic day . I have fallen in love with Vancouver! I must come back!
