It was the nicest day we have had here, for sure! Visibility was fantastic and the sky was blue, blue! We decided that we had slept too late to go to Whistler today and get back before rush hour, so we bought our one day Translink passes. We hopped on the bus to Lougheed where we got on the SkyTrain to Waterfront and hopped on the Seabus to North Vancouver. We arrived at North Vancouver’s Waterfront in time for lunch. We love Lonsdale Quay market and food court. We ate Chinese today and ate outside looking at all the activity in the harbor. It is a very busy harbor! There were freight ships coming and going, seaplanes taking off and landing, a paddle boat taking tourists, the Seabuses, and private boats going and coming. The seaplanes were our favorite thing to watch.
After lunch we took a long walk on the waterfront walkway. We then took the Seabus back to Vancouver, and we walked to Canada Place and around Canada Place. I read where that was where a lot of the media worked during the Olympics. I’ve got to look up the Vancouver Convention Center beside Canada Place to see what if anything went on there during the Olympics. I cannot imagine how crowded this place was during the Olympics or what using the TransLink must have been like then.
On the way back on the SkyTrain, we could see distant snow covered mountains. Then it looked like Mt. Rainier came into our sight. It was beautiful. It makes me long to go back to the Tetons and Yellowstone! Maybe we will. Who knows?
That was our day here. I hope yours was wonderful, too. If we can get going early enough, we may brave the traffic and go to Whistler on our last full day here. It is a two-and-a-half hour trip each way, but it is supposed to be a beautiful drive.
