Checking out Downtown Vancouver

No hurry this morning. Enjoyed a delicious Canadian breakfast including blueberries and maple syrup. Sorted our phone connections for Canada and walked. We started in Chinatown then to Robson which is like central Melbourne with old cathedrals, shopping centres and people everywhere. We walked to Waterfront where the big cruise ships pull in and the seaplanes take off from. Ate lunch at a very Irish  inspired venue then walked along the waterfront to Coal Harbour and to the start of Stanley Park, very modern now but had some history boards to read along the way.
Headed back a slightly different route enjoying a cool drink under the shade watching the seal plans come in. Walked along Canada Place with lovely views of the harbour then onto a very historical area Gastown where we found a Canadian French inspired  restaurant and tasted local seafood produce in a delicious dinner and tasted local refreshments. Very warm today 28c with a slight breeze.
