We decided to stroll around the seawall, something of a local landmark itself - a trail that leads all around the outside of the park with the sea on your right the whole way (or the left, if you're going in the other direction). Unfortunately it quickly became apparent that Stanley Park is 1,000 acres in size, so after walking for quite a while and getting nowhere we turned around.
But what we saw on the way was pretty good. There's evidence of 3,000 years of human habitation in the park by Canadian First Nations and a great selection of totem poles to commemorate this. There are also cricket and rugby pitches, a rowing club, an aquarium, and a naval base that fires a gun at 9pm each evening (it has its own Twitter account). And that's just our corner! Plenty of exploring to do, mostly in the rain.
Back home I decided it was time to hang pictures on the walls. We're still wading through packing debris but at least we have something nice to look at while we trip over.
Sunday morning snooze with Mummy. Daddy was up unpacking and tidying things.
Boats, and the rowing club.
Is that a smile? Is someone getting to love his snow suit? (Hint: no).
Doing a very Vancouverite thing: the Sunday seawalk stroll.
Chevron owns most of what you're looking at. And me.
Totem poles! They're cool, that's just understood.
A few more blazing autumn colours.
