Day 18 VanDusen Botanical Garden Vancouver

Last full day of the trip, spent my time looking at interesting plants at the VanDusen Botanical Garden. It was a touch far from where we are, it took us an hour to get there. Two buses and a ride on the sky train.



A bush maze, I love these. Get scared about being lost and stuck in one though, I'm not great with directions but we went in and out OK.


Bee hives



Aboriginal medicinal plants!


Get ready for blooms, I love these colours. So pretty.









Well that about ends the interesting parts of our trip. We got home safe and sound minus that one bout wherein we got on the wrong plane home but we quickly found the correct one, just in time! Phew.

Day 17 Chinatown, Vancouver


Ugh my dark picture don't do it justice. Went to a take out dim sum place, so delicious! Service so fast! Prices so fair! Portions so large!



Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, it was so pretty here.


Gas Town, boutiques, places to eat and construction.




Day 16 Wandering downtown & Vancouver Art Gallery


Met up with a buddy who showed me you can walk on these bridges. There's space for cars, bikes and pedestrians!




Vancouver Art Gallery, this use to be the entrance but now the entrance is on the side street, but I like the square it sits on. 


Takashi Murakami exhibit like walking through a Super Nintendo game!



The Gaybourhood, so pretty.


Down by the water there are palm trees here in Canada!


Really bright cross walks.


Day 15 Lynn Canyon, Grouse Mt., Miku, Myst

Family breakfast at Denny's then Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge







Weird tree thing.





Grouse Mountain, take the trolley up and there's snow at the top!


LUNCH Santa Fe Hot Dog, has guacamole and Brie, apple, spinach, fig sandwich, GOOD!



Grouse Mountain coming down.


Downtown for dinner, this is not a painting.




Miku Restaurant, so pretty.


Cool car



Still hungry, at Myst restaurant.
