Thursday 20th June
In the morning we bussed from the Pickles house to Granville Island, which is an area in downtown Vancouver which is in fact, not an island. Granville Island consists of tourist shops, galleries and the Public Market. We continued to walk around the waterfront around False Creek until we got to the World of Science. Here, we decided to leave the boys to entertain themselves while the girls, along with our tour guide, Ben, continued the walk around the city. From here, we walked to Gas Town to see the not so exciting Steam Clock, and laughed as we watched the disappointment on our fellow tourist’s faces. We continued walking out to Canada Place past the Olympic Cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza where we enjoyed our lunch in the beautiful Canada sun. We caught the Seabus to North Vancouver and back where we met up with boys and walked over Granville Bridge around and along the waterfront of Sunset Beach to English Bay Beach to our sea view spot for dinner at the Cactus Club Café, a tick off the bucket list! Here we ran into two friends from Mangawhai. What are the odds! The weather has been stunning and today, we walked a total of 19kms in and around Vancouver.
