Fall Travels – Vancouver

September 2010

In September we took the 7 day Alaskan cruise on the Statendam, a Holland America ship. We traveled with two other couples, Fred and Sheila and Dan and Jan.

We had three full days of sightseeing in Vancouver before the cruise departed. Love Vancouver and all the sights, Gastown, the steam clock, the Vancouver Aquarium, Grouse Mountain, Stanley Park and Grandville Island.

Once you got over the tram ride to the top of Grouse Mountain there was lots of entertainment. A theatre showing movies about BC and nature conservation, a raptor show, a lumber jack show and we saw two grizzly bears that are in a special habitat.

This was our first visit to Grandville Island. It is a great place with lots of crafts and food. There was a fundraising event in downtown Vancouver where many high end Lamborghini, BMW, Porsche and Ferrari sports cars were on display. We have never seen so many expensive vehicles before.Double click to enlarge pictures
