Granville Island
Gas Lamp town
Fresh Fruits
China Town Garden
A busy harbour
A walking tour of Vancouver. We started walking in the morning and did not stop till my legs just could not move any more. The day was beautiful and so is the city. A city of black top yellow cabs and people with kids all over. People are so friendly that as soon as you take out a map, someone stops to help.
We started the walk on the Robson street, the very heart of Vancouver and a place to eat and hang out. We took the boat to Granville Island which was a two minutes ride for three dollars. The Island is beautiful, full of arts and crafts , food and people. We had a really good Chai tea ( recommended by Smita) at the public market and bought fruits ( it is really inexpensive to buy fresh organic fruits)
We walked back to the main land on the bridge and were rewarded very nice views of the city. Then, walk through the Yale town, we found the original homes ( three of them remaining) of the Vancouver city and then on to the Gas Lamp section. This is the old part of Vancouver, quaint and full of shops and food places.
This left only China Town and my feet were killing me. So, we took a break and then decided to see the China Town Garden. It is definitely worth the trip. The China Town itself is old and run down but the garden is very nice and authentic looking.
Overall, the city is beautiful and I think it offers all sort s of options to visit. We have one more day to explore and quite a few more things to see. Good night for now . Hope you are all doing well.
