We walked to the Vancouver Visitor Centre to decide what to do today. Folks there were very helpful. We decided on a hop on, hop off tour conducted by Landsea. Our tour bus yesterday was nice, but the Landsea buses were new double-deckers. Very nice.
We hopped off in Stanley Park at the first of three stops and walked among the flowers and along one of the trails. Hopped on the next bus and went to Prospect Point, where we had lunch and spent time looking at the ships and boats moving in and out of Burrard Inlet. We thought from the map that there was a lighthouse here, but it was down near the water--Prospect is atop a cliff--and accessible only by walking (or biking) the seawall path.
We hopped the next bus and rode to the Aquatic Centre. From here, we took a False Creek Ferry over to the Museum of Vancouver. Spent two hours going through the museum. Vancouver's history and trends through years is almost exactly like the U.S. The 1950s display looked like home I grew up in and was complete with a 1956 Ford Fairlane.
Back on the bus, we repeated most of the areas we saw on the tour yesterday and got back to our hotel just in time to grab a cab to head to the Trattoria Italian Kitchen in the Kitsilano section of town for dinner. Good meal.
