We started our day semi early by scouting for a bagel shop my friend recommended only to realize that it was in the middle of an island. All of sudden we were faced with a dilemma of how to reach this magical island (Granville Island)... luckily they have a very handy boat taxi service that leaves every few minutes just a few blocks from our hotel. The public market that we found on this island was great! Ton of produce, meats, pastries... anything you want. I loved that it felt lil bit like an European market... and they had very similar things that I was used to from back home. Even a poppy seed pastry!!!
After our breakfast and the island exploration we picked up Lucka, who had a headache and had to stay back, and headed for Stanley Park. It was supposed to rain later on that evening but we got relatively lucky that we managed to stay mostly dry on our hike throug the park. It was so beautiful, they did a great job with this park. We also spotted a cruise ship in the harbor and Lucka just couldn't believe that they can really be so big.
Once we got our fill of Stanley park we found our way to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Lucka didn't think she could manage to cross the bridge that stretches 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. But same as with me, Chris decided to help Lucka conquer her fears by herding her across the bridge. At some point she had tears in her eyes and shouted something incoherent in our direction but in the end she managed to cross it only to find
herself entering into canopy tour. She wasn't too pleased when Chris ran after her and shook the bridges :o).Once we were done with this unique park we decided that it was time for an early dinner in a local brewery and we called it a day and relaxed in our hotel.
Tomorrow we are embarking on our second part of our journey, this time to Victoria.
I really enjoyed this town and I could see myself living here. It is very relaxed and so pretty.
