Vancouver.
Aimless walking around Vancouver.
Stanley Park is a 400 hectare Park on a peninsular in the middle of Vancouver. It is a green oasis of natural rainforest within walking distance of our centrally located hotel.

Vancouver: last day
Vancouver: Grouse Mountain
Grouse Mountain cable car.
We entered the cable car at the bottom on a nice sunny day. No sign of snow or ice. The cable car was full of people carrying skis and snowboards. At the top, we saw some beautiful looking snow and a cafe. We took the café. Our waiter was from NZ. A waitress came and wanted to talk to us. She was from the Gold Coast. The first Aussie we had seen for weeks. Apparently, this is where young backpackers go for work. The snowy mountainous areas of the west coast.
Seek the Peek. 16kays: 1400m elevation: running race. We saw an ad for this coming race.
Vancouver: Capilano Suspension Bridge
Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
Capilano Suspension Bridge crosses towering evergreens.
The cliffwalk follows a granite precipice above the Capilano River with a series of cantilevered bridges, stairs and platforms held by 16 anchor points into the cliff.
Toronto: Casa Loma
Casa Loma is a Gothic Revival mansion in Toronto. Built in 1911-1914 for a wealthy Canadian. Sir Henry Pellatt.
Now a tourism landmark and a screen set for many films, TV shows and advertisements. Wax replicas of many of the actors who have worked there.
