Being a Tourist in My Own City - A Vancouver Walk-About

A unique set of circumstances led me to be able to spend 8 hours a day for 7 days in Vancouver this month.  Living in Chilliwack that's no mean feat - since commuting via transit is next to impossible.  However, I'm here to say its not totally impossible.  I just discovered the West Coast Express - and although its a 40 minute drive from Chilliwack to Mission, for $11.25 you can take the 65 minute to trip to the Waterfront Station in Vancouver and the pass will allow you to enjoy transit, (Sky Train, Sea Bus, City Buses etc) all day for free.  So, I decided to play 'tourist' for 7 days, and what an adventure it was!  I thought I'd write several posts about this marvellous city and hopefully encourage those of us from Chilliwack to venture out that way and rediscover what city life is all about.  What will follow is 7 days of delightful day trips - and some wonderful photos that will hopefully encourage you to take on the challenge.
