Yesterday was our only day to tour Vancouver. Why? It was sunny, with rain scheduled to come last night, and continue into the weekend. We return to Honolulu on Sunday.The only economically sensible way to see Vancouver is utilizing the Big Red Bus, where you pay around $70 per person for two days, and hop on and off at 14 different stops. A bus comes every 15 minutes. Stop #2 is located across the street from our hotel.
Here is another itinerary map with different stop numbers. Now I know why they don't mention numbers at their stops or show numbers at each stop....because there must be more than one system.
There could be two versions of some legs because we took the full 1.5 hour trip twice. I sat on one side of the bus one way, on the other for part of the second, then moved to the front for most of this second time, so you will see some same scenes from different sides.
Basically, we targeted Chinatown as our only stop because we wanted to have lunch there. So here are a few more photos and videos getting there.
When we got to Chinatown, we walked all around and could not find one decent restaurant. We were met, though, by my Blue Bar Pigeon eating beans or something from this store. Many were closed. Something is not economically right about this location. Finally, as we returned to the bus stop, we notice on the second floor a potential. But the plaza was also kind of dark, with several stores shuttered. Went up the third floor, and the restaurant was open for business. Looked okay. Ordered to much food. Wonton noodles, beef tendon, shiu mai, beef chow fun.
We gave up on the Marriott executive lounge. Got our own drinks, in my case, a Peroni Beer from the Oceania Riviera, and a chicken dinner takeout from Asian Heritage. I had dinner with a view from the room,
