For two well-traveled souls like Bruce and me, it’s a little strange that we’ve never been to Vancouver. The Emerald Princess landed and we were off the ship by 8am.
Our hotel was less than a half-mile from the port, so we planned to walk. But I first needed my morning coffee. We also split a scone.
We are staying at the Marriott Pinnacle. We booked a king but at 10 am they only had two doubles available so we decided that was good enough. We rested, and I actually slept until noon. I didn’t get any sleep last night since my stomach was upset. So I really needed the rest.
We adventure out to experience Vancouver. Our usual thing is to go to a bakery and a church. But first, we needed lunch. I had a salmon bowl and Bruce had a cheeseburger at The Brass Fish. My salmon was delicious.
We stopped at a chocolate cafe for dessert and coffee. Bruce had hot chocolate.
Our next stop was Christ Church Cathedral. This was a little less impressive than the cathedral in Victoria.
It was located between skyscrapers which made it seem even smaller. The cathedral was built in 1895 and received a Heritage designation in 1976.
We decided to head back to our hotel to rest again. I read while sitting looking out at our two-sided views.
We took a walk along the waterfront taking in the beautiful landscape.
This was an interesting sculpture from the 2010 Olympics.
Lots of seaplanes were taking off and coming in. It’s a thriving business taking tourists on tours.
We ate dinner at Mahoney’s Pub. I had a margarita pizza which I shared with Bruce and he had a bowl of tomato soup.
Tomorrow we head to Revelstoke!
