For our first night in Vancouver we had dinner at Chambar. I believe it was the best dinner we had in town and was a great way to celebrate our anniversary. The next day, we started our tour of Vancouver riding up to the top of the Vancouver Lookout Tower which gave us a 360 degree view of the city. We then dug into the history of Gastown with a mystery tour of the area. We had clues to follow throughout the old area of Vancouver. It was very fun and we solved the mystery, though we didn't win because we missed a bonus question.
We then went out to the Capilano Suspension bridge. The view from the bridge and the surrounding forest was beautiful.
We had also taken a simulated flight over Canada complete with dangling feet and blowing wind.
We later took a bike ride along the waterfront of the city and around Stanley Park. While it did rain for a little bit we were able to find a dry place to wait for it to pass.
The next day we rented a small boat to see Vancouver and the surrounding area from the water. We got far back into Vancouver Harbor and deep into the Indian Arm fjord before stopping for a picnic lunch and turning back to return the boat.
We had also taken some time at the Granville Island Public Market to do some shopping. That night we went to the Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar.
With the sun shining, we spent the next morning with one last visit to Stanley Park. We then went into town for a Gastronomic tour. Our tour guide took us to many delicious restaurants starting with dim sum and ending with gelato. We were stuffed and all the food was really good. That night was Canada Day so we listened as people shot off fireworks over the harbor. We were exhausted though and ready to go to bed. We had a flight to catch the next day.
