Our last full day. We used today to have a stroll around the largest of Vancouver's city parks - Stanley Park. Thankfully our hotel was quite close, so we were able to walk just a few blocks west and we were at the south end of the park.
Stanley Park is huge, so we only had time to walk around some of it. We set off walking around the coastal perimeter and first found a display of Totem Poles. We continued following the coastal walk north, then west, and after an hour or so we found we'd almost made it back to where we'd started. From here we decided to head into the centre of the park.
Despite being on the edge of a bustling metropolis the interior of the park was very quiet. Our walk took us along a forest trail and eventually to a small, lily-covered lake called Beaver Lake. No beavers were to be seen, but there were many dragonflies buzzing around the edge of the lake, as well as a few black and red squirrels.
Eventually we emerged from the park and we headed back into the city. Given it was our last night, we decided to splurge on a big final meal at a steakhouse near to our hotel. After filling our bellies we returned to the hotel for our final night in Canada.
