Hi,
We started the day out with a breakfast of a Dutch pancake. If you don't know what that is, it is a very thin pancake which covers a dinner plate and has various toppings on it. The Best Western is owned by dutch people and they had a dutch restaurant next door. According to the yellow pages, there was a Vanden Bosch Pasterie Belgie Bakery. When we arrived at the address, it
wasn't there.
We had reserved a hotel in downtown Vancouver with parking underneath the hotel on first come first basis so we went there next with hope of parking there while we explored Vancouver. So now our car will be there for two days.
Yesterday we bought a day pass on all public transportation for a day and trolley tickets for two days. We first went on the sky train. We stayed on it to the end and came back. It lasted two hours. The train is driven by computers only.
We then went on the seabus to North Vancouver and back. Very efficient. It will unload and then load about 300 plus passengers in about five minutes. One will leave the dock every 15 minutes. We then went on the two trolley routes for about three hours. We also went on the city bus for a while.
Vancouver is a city of apartments as you can according to the pictures. Vancouver has mountains to one side, ocean to another and rich farmland in another direction. They didn't want to use up farmland for dwellings so they are going up for living spaces.
We walked quite a bit too. We are tired and looking forward to going to bed.
