Once again, a usual Vancouver morning at a cafe for breakfast/blogging.
Our plan for the day was to bike to the Capilano Suspension Bridge - but luckily we found out that it was a good 15 mile bike up a hill before we went to the rental store. Instead, we took the SeaBus to North Vancouver, and took a bus from there to Capilano. Public transportation in Vancouver is extremely reasonable as far as pricing goes. Interestingly enough, they dont even have a place to check your tickets on the SeaBus. Seems like it would be pretty easy to just walk through and get on without paying.
The Capilano Suspension Bridge was very fun. We took some good pictures, which I'll be able to upload as soon as we're home. I also bought a pretty sweet hoodie for myself as a souvenir, which is good because I don't usually buy too many souvenirs.
We got on the bus going the wrong direction as we were leaving Capilano. We were planning to get back on the SeaBus, but it brought us up to Grousse Mountain. We just shrugged it off and figured we just need to sit on the bus until it turns back to the SeaBus. It wasnt until we had already turned around that we realized that Grousse Mountain would have been pretty sweet and we should have just rolled with it. Ah well - something to see next time.
We went to a British Pub called Chester Cheese's for lunch. Sampled a few more local brews, and this big 500ml bottle of "Monty Python's Holy Grail", all of which were excellent. We shopped a bit before getting on the SeaBus to return to greater Vancouver.
This will need to be a 2-part blog, because the battery is running down on the laptop and I will need to turn it off soon. So until next time...
