We have missed a day!  Yesterday we had a break and headed down to the Metro centre shopping mall. Over 500 shops! Went on the new fully automated sky train, so no train driver or human apart from passengers on board. Completely computer controlled. I bit weird when you take off realising that its a computer driving and you are doing 100 kph and you have no one looking where you are going!

So today we took the Hop on Hop off bus around the city, lunch at the Granville Island market which was amazing! a farmers market and tourist shops all rolled in to one!  Had a great Salmon Pot pie for lunch from a stall.
Back on the bus to Stanley Park and then onto another bus to view the park. I will show you the pictures!
