Two frame pictures chronicle our journey in British Colombia : June 7, that first day in Vancouver, we did Capilano suspension bridge and Grouse Mountain. Two weeks from that day, after having visited Seattle and cruised the Inside Passage , we were back in British Colombia and with this “finale frame picture” in Victoria , we ended a memorable chapter in beautiful Canada

Afetrnoon Tea at The Empress Hotel
Honestly, I didn’t regret leaving the exquisite Butchart gardens for our next destination was well worth it. The afternoon tea at the Empress Hotel is a double win: this historic hotel – one of the oldest in Victoria, 1908- is a must visit and I absolutely relish this quintessentially English tradition : the array of savoury small sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, marmalade, colourful cakes and tea poured from a beautiful teapot.

We pedaled on mostly bicycle-dedicated lanes past the Convention Center East, Coal Harbour
Yaletown and along the sea walls towards Stanley Park
On foot, pushing our bikes🚲, we explored the Park’s rainfores’s trails
***
Later on, we boarded a ferry to reach Granville Island in time for lunch at the Public Market
then resumed our tour along False Creek and the historic neighborhood of Chinatown where we strolled in Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
***
We had a last stop in downtown Gastown before we ended the tour, feeling grateful for the lovely weather and the knowledgeable guide who made it an awesome trip for us – wealth of information and sense of humour.
Absolutely, the best way to discover this enchanting city’s highlights in five hours.

“Shadows, Strings and Other Things.Over 250 puppets, old and new, from 15 countries are illuminated in MOA’s dramatic new exhibition. These exquisite puppets – sometimes charming, sometimes a little bit scary, and always entertaining- come together and reveal our enduring fascination with storytelling “
Capilano Suspension Bridge
70 meters above Capitano River, a traffic stopping picture on the 140 meters long Capilano Suspension Bridge…well worth it
Originally built in 1889, the park had a few additions over the years:
⁃ In 2004, Treetops Adventures, a walkway 30 meters above the forest floor consisting of seven footbridges suspended between Douglas Fir trees
⁃ Cliff Walk, a walkway sprouting from the granite cliff, is the most recent attraction.
We Are a Rainbow, Not One Colour
All the roads lead to Rome
Only one suits you More
It’s your road to happiness
And that’s no one’s business
*
When you long for a different track
Follow your heart and don’t look back
When you choose a different way
Beware of listening to the sceptic “ney”
*
Your route may differ from another
We are a rainbow, not one color
Ignore whoever questions your progress
He woud absolutely make you regress
*
Choose your journey, and forget the other
Follow your dreams and never bother
Don’t shy away from a different trail
The busy lane? Definitely bail!
*
Leave the herd and pick your road
Keep the interference on
mute mode
Your road’s the one people disdain
They always do and still complain
*
Stay away from the boring shallow
Who stick to you like a shadow
You don’t need someone to follow
Be yourself, don’t be hollow
Peak 2 Peak Gondola
Gliding like a bird
Floating like a feather
It’s a wonderful world
And the perfect weather
