Vancouver Trip! Pt 2

Breakfast and Adventure in Stanley Park
It's an early start, woke up around 6:30 for an early for breakfast before we set out to start the day. We had a breakfast buffet with plentiful fruit, cereals, freshly smoked salmon, apple-chicken sausage and meats, also a minimum range of baked goods and a chef to cook fresh omelettes, waffles and pancakes! A not-too-shabby start.

The first stop of our venturous day was at Stanley Park! It's a very large park with a beautiful view of the lake and you can see Lion Gate Bridge.. as well as walk through many forest hike trails, long walk/bike paths around the whole park. It would take an entire day to go through the entire park so we only made pit-stops at a few locations. And due to the unfamiliarity of the roads, we got lost and just drove around the park a lot. We passed by a kid's water park, beach, and pool park.. and totem park. It's not a bad thing to drive through the park vs walking the park, since parking fees are a bit ridiculous. I understand that the park is tourist location however, wouldn't it be better to have a single payment to enter the park instead of constant charges per hour throughout the park? Just a thought.

Passing by the beach part of the park.
Over the gentle cliff with another water-side hike path.
Parked here at the side with cars and people on road bikes whizzing by.
On the left is an entrance to one of the hike paths and leading down to the water-side pathway.
Peeping through the trees and a glimpse of the pathway that surrounds the entire park.
On the pathway with the view of the Lion Gate Bridge.
Just a small snap shot of the first stop at the park. We had a short walk on the path around the lake before moving onto another area of the park.

That's all for now~
