During our excursion we drive through the old "Gaslight" district, very picturesque. We are also referred to an existing very large drug problem, the guys keep themselves in a street here in the neighborhood. Hereafter we drive through Stanley Park, a natural park with ancient trees and beautiful scenery everywhere and opposite views of the beautiful buildings. Viewpoint on the big bridge where we also "Amsterdam" underneath dangers. Also on the water a beautiful residential area with very expensive flatgebouwen.De bus driver is also the guide, a retired gentleman with a lot of travel experience! The park is a beautiful and original collection of totem poles to see the original Indian stammen.Het park is 5.5 miles long protected by a seawall against the fierce winter storms. In 2006, a storm of almost hurricane force, many old trees felled, where the stumps are still visible. After the bus tour I am going back to the Gaslightdistrict (Sunday). The shops are open now and there is much more life on the streets. The sail is again as great as the entry. Truly a beautiful city and a highlight of our trip!
