Day 3 - Friday 10th

Bit of confusion with the day and date yesterday - all sorted now.

Usual breakfast at Dennys - French Toast Slam for me and seniors breakfast for Eileen plus great coffee. Bus into town for free, the driver let us on although we didn't have change,you can't us notes on the buses, and rented bikes to cycle round the coastal path of Stanley Park and also the False Creek seawall. The totem pole area in Stanley Park was very interesting. Well,REALLY!!(Eileen here editing this!!) feel I have to elaborate on the cycling bit...it was at least 10 miles and my ischial tuberosities are going to take some time to recover!!

Great fun and only moderately exhausted on return. Then straight onto the Big Red Tour Bus to get to Granville Island. Very interesting place with lots of arty farty shops and no sign of Arkwrights! Late lunch on Granville then back to Earls which is a restaurant adjacent to the motel to watch the 5th game of the Stanley Cup finals (Vancouver Canucks won 1-0). E & I are now big fans althought neither of us can see the puck it all seems very exciting especially helped along with copious amounts of wheat beer and an excellent steak. Retired early to write blog etc. Eileen says we seem to be going to bed about the same time as wee Charlie next door in Allan Park!!
