One thing we have learned since arriving in British Columbia - if it's sunny today it will probably be rainy for the next three to four days, so take advantage!
It is a good day to explore Stanley Park. We have a late breakfast then taxi the two miles over to the park information booth - saving our strength to enjoy strolling around the park. I pick up a map and choose the Seawall Trail which goes around the eastern section of the 400 hectare park. It provides a wonderful view of Downtown Vancouver.
A little detour takes us to the totem poles. It is interesting that totem poles are present in both Canadian and New Zealand heritage - separated by so many miles of ocean.
Back along the seawall we pass the small lighthouse. Across the harbor snow-topped Mount Gross towers above North Vancouver. We also see Lions Gate Bridge as we walk along.
After walking the Seawall Trail for a couple of hours we're tired. We're close to the aquarium and trudge up the hill hoping to find a taxi. Yeah! There are two waiting. We have the driver drop us off near the Public Library - there's an Irish Pub and a Scotch Egg sounds like a good snack to tide us over until dinner.
