Vancouver Day 3

Today, I had plans to visit parr which was bigger than NY's central park. Its also voted the best international park in the world. I decided to spend more than half a day here. I walked to the park from my stay. It has so much on offer, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to see and do. 

Stanley Park is surrounded by water and contains a portion of the world’s longest uninterrupted waterfront path, which stretches a total 28 km. The 9 km stretch that circles the park’s perimeter, known as the Seawall, is a huge draw for nature lovers, active types.  A popular activity is to hire a bike, don some rollerblades or simply jog or walk around the wall, admiring the stunning mountain and forest scenery as you go and stopping to snap sweeping shots of mountain vistas. 

If you fancy delving deeper into Stanley Park’s natural side, or simply want to avoid  the crowds, there are numerous worthwhile hiking trails to choose from. With over 27 km of paths and boardwalks crisscrossing the interior, including Siwash Rock Trail, Rawlings Trail and Beaver Lake Trail, there are myriad opportunities to discover the area’s scenic beauty, along with its rich diversity of plant and animal life.

Stanley Park is a designated Canadian National Historic site offering visitors the chance to witness dozens of inspiring landmarks, monuments and fascinating artefacts. Stanley Park also boasts more than its fair share of kid-friendly spots, including Canada’s largest aquarium, a swimming pool, waterpark, miniature railway, and plenty more guaranteed to keep the whole family happy.

After finishing few trails, I came to downtown and explored Best buy. Then headed to Richmond by Skytrain to visit Home Depot and IKEA. I tend to visit IKEA wherever its present . I did buy few things there. It was late in the evening when I left IKEA , reached stay and rested for a while. I had to check out the next day, so packed and searched for restaurant nearby. Had pizza , poutine. Poutine is french fry with cheese curd and brown gravy.
