| Totem poles in Stanley Park |
One of the 'must-do' experiences in Vancouver (according to the many
bike rental places across the city as well as myself) is a bike ride
around
Stanley Park.
Thankfully, our second day in Vancouver brought no rain and even a
little bit of sunshine. We promptly took advantage of this window of
opportunity, hired a couple of bikes (a mountain bike for Tom and a
cruiser for me) and set off around Stanley Park. Along the way, we
stopped at the various sight-seeing spots and information panels before
reaching English Bay and stopping to soak up some Vitamin D for a little
while. In the afternoon, we wandered through
Gastown
and Chinatown before ending up in Coal Harbour to enjoy the sunset.
After our uninspiring culinary feast in a mediocre setting the night before, we
wanted to find a special place for dinner on our last night in
Vancouver. On our way back to the hotel, we stumbled across
Cardero's,
a beautiful restaurant right on the water and serving a delicious menu
featuring lots of local seafood specialities (and the best creme brulee
I've ever tasted). The restaurant didn't disappoint and I'll definitely be a return visitor on future trips to Vancouver. Whilst it was a whirlwind trip to Vancouver for Tom, we
managed to hit a lot of the 'hot spots' and by the time we hit the sack
that night, we were ready to head off to Victoria the next day.
