The weather today was perfect – 68 – 74 degrees, no wind and all sun!
After a big breakfast that was included, we walked 2 miles through town and along the waterfront to the shuttle boat to take us to Granville Island.
Grandville Island is a food, shopping, entertainment island just off of the mainland. Then call it an island; however, it is really a peninsula.
The last part of the trip to Grandville was on a shuttle boat that only had a capacity of 12 for its 10-minute trip.
We spend the entire day there shopping and eating.
Lunch was in a restaurant where we had a table on the 3rd floor overlooking the harbor – it was really neat.
We finally left the island at 4:30pm and walked to the mainland’s primary entertainment district. It was a little like the entertainment district in Memphis.
We sat and watched a Gay Promenade and it was fun.
Then it was about 7:30pm so we took an Uber to the same restaurant we ate at last night and had Sockeye Salmon for the second time this day and it was very good.
In our opinion, Vancouver is a very clean, friendly city. It has miles of bike and pedestrian paths and lots of parks, all dog friendly. All-in-all a nice city. The only problem we see is that it rains about 1/3 of the days of the year.
That’s it for this trip’s blog as tomorrow we get up at 5am for the 1/2-hour drive to the airport. There we take a WestJet plane to Los Angles before switching to Delta and flying to Atlanta and finally, we hope to Bloomington, arriving at 10:21pm.
When we get home, I will make a page of videos that we have taken, some you have seen and some you have not.
Night from Vancouver and we are READY TO COME HOME!!
