Day 2 - Thursday 9th - Vancouver

After a long but fitfull nights sleep we were up at the skrake(?) of dawn and off to the adjacent Dennys for breakfast. Huge portions, even Eileen's senior portion, but hey who's complaining! Following breakfast we walked a couple of miles to Walmart for heel grippers as the princess was having trouble with trainers. That worked off about 1/10th of breakies. Then we set off for the day walking for miles across the Lions Gate bridge to Stanley Park, then through the park to pick up the "Hop 0n - Hop Off" bus at stop 15. After waiting for over 1 hour it was obvious that it was now the "Eff Off" bus. We sought advice to be told they had changed the route but hadn't told anyone. Once aboard and steam no longer escaping from ears we set off around the city. Very interesting. We are amazed at how pleasant and helpful everyone we meet is. Had an evening meal over looking the river and watched seaplanes land and take off. Arrived back at the Travelodge tired but happy with a great day out exploring Vancouver.
