You can read about my last day at sea HERE.
We woke up in Vancouver. Our last stop. We got our last cup of coffee using our coffee card. <<If you like coffee as much as I do, I suggest you get this card. The coffee on the ship is NOT good. With this card you get 15 different coffees (americano, latte, cappuccino, hot chocolate) throughout the week. Definitely best purchase ever!
I’ve never been to Vancouver so I was excited about being there. We were able to get off the ship around 8:30am. Then we took a cab to the hotel. Our room wasn’t ready so we left our luggage and went out to explore.
First we went to Stanley Park.
Then we took a ferry to Granville Island. We did more sightseeing and got something to eat. So many choices to eat at The Public Market but we ended up at a brewery. 🙂
We walked on the Granville Island Bridge to get back to our hotel. We got tired. Once in our room we took a nap.
Have you heard of the Happy Pace Program? If I would have stayed longer in Vancouver, for sure I would have shown up at 7:30 am.
After our nap we went to Gastown. It is Vancouver’s most historic neighborhood with cobblestone walkways.
The following morning I flew back to Chicago. But first another bear picture. I posted this in our private Facebook page and everyone got a kick out of it. Anybody home?
Remember my snafu on my flight from Seattle to Anchorage regarding the app to watch TV shows? Same thing happened. I had access to free movies and TV shows but I needed the United app in order to watch them. And I needed wifi to download the app.
I grew up in Canada, so everyone assumes I’ve been to Vancouver, but I never have. I’ve heard so much about the crummy weather, but it looks like you had a gorgeous day.
It was a gorgeous day! We loved it even more because it had been cloudy and chilly for most of our cruise.
Sounds like we had similar days. We did everything you did except for Stanley Park was on Saturday morning, explored through running. Great photos!
We got on a trolley and that was a great way to explore the city.
I had a business trip to Vancouver a few years ago, and loved it! Such a fun place to run. I get emails from United about downloading the app, but I usually have to work on the plane anyway. My complaint is that the planes seem to have wi-fi or electrical outlets, but not both!
I must have missed the email from United because I am sure I would have downloaded it. 😀 The plane from Seattle to Anchorage had both which was nice.
Gastown seems so truly picturesque, Zenaida! What are your highlights of Vancouver?
Gastown was beautiful! I wished I would have explored more of Vancouver.
Looks like you had a great time! Loved seeing all your beautiful pics from your trip!
Thank you. It was a great trip!
