Your pictures are still stunning. I particularly like the one of the waterfall.And I’m going to take this opportunity
to apologize in advance.
I wasn’t really planning on writing
about this, so there’s not going to be much
in the way of food porn, or hotel shots.
Indeed, I need to apologize for the
shots that you will see.
They’re all done with the phone,
and not the good camera.
Good tip! Will remember that for my next visit west.Instead, I headed over to Lynn Canyon
where for free I got to cross a slightly
more modest (150’) suspension bridge
as well as hike some far less crowded trails.
Nothing like quiet time in nature.After breathing in some fresh air
and encountering very few people,
(Perfect. On both counts)
it was time to see a couple more
touristy/kitschy sites.
Now I am really missing Vancouver. It is far too long since I visited last.There were several bike-rental companies
in the area, and no surprise there.
For nearby was Vancouver’s famous
Stanley Park.
This park is listed by many respected
travel guides as one of the best city
parks in the world.
No less than Condé Nast, Far and Wide,
Travel & Leisure, Fodors, and a multitude
of others all proclaim Stanley Park
to be one of the world’s best.
I've walked up that hill but can't imagine biking up it. Or down it for that matter!Climbing the steep road was not easy.
But after one or two stops,
I arrived safely, if a bit winded, at the top.
And I was glad I did.
Stanley Park’s only ice cream shop was there!
