First stop in Vancouver

Our almost too early flight to Vancouver got us there mid morning. The public transport was so convenient and we used the sky train and the sea bus to get to our hotel in North Vancouver. We stayed at Londsdale Quay Hotel. It was a chic hotel on the third floor of a market/restaurant complex. This was a fantastic experience. We had a choice of almost any type of food. Vietnamese spring rolls, Indian curry, Australian Pavlova, Beaver Trails, fresh seafood salad and mince meat pies were a some of the items we tried at the international food court at very reasonable prices. It was so a great place to browse for souvenirs and crafts.

After lunch took a bus to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park one of the famous attractions in Vancouver. At $30 per person it was worth seeing if you make it all the way to this part of the city. The scenery of the tall, green trees was something unique. The Cliff walk was another attraction that offered great views. We took the bus up north a few blocks to Grouse Mountain. But didn't feel that spending $40 each was justified for a cable ride especially on a somewhat cloudy day. We finished our night at Boston Pizza, a franchise that seems to be very popular in Canada. e had no idea Boston was known for pizza anywhere in the world!
