English Bay was packed with locals and tourists enjoying the sun. On Saturday we rode our bikes along the seawall to Stanley park and then all around the 11km seawall ride back to English Bay.
So green and beautiful. Bikes jostle with bladers and tourists who don't see there is a path for them and a path for bikes. They stand in the middle of the bike path taking photos as cyclists swerve around them.
We had a relaxing lunch on the 'patio' of the Boathouse restaurant at English Bay - great fish and chips and local BC wine. Our view was accross the Bay to the Mountains in the North West- they still have snow on the peaks.
Today we took the 5 minute ferry ride accross to Granville Island markets. There is a main public market with fresh produce and cafes, then a big expanse of renovated sheds with arts and crafts studios, groovy paper shops, clothing, more restaurants and cafes. Found an authentic french boulangerie with great baguettes, pastries and daily baked breads.....mmmm.
Daylight savings means it is light until at least 9pm, so plenty of time to enjoy the weekend and take things at a slower pace than we have over the last 6 months.
