Some recommendation...I like the sound of your trip. Some recommendations and tips I can think about:<br /><br />- Look into the <a href="http://www.translink.ca/en/Fares-and-Passes/FareSaver-Tickets.aspx" rel="nofollow">Vancouver Trans Link Faresaver 10 ticket</a> deal. It is only good for Zone 1, but you are going to be bussing it for the majority of places within the area, I would assume. You can always pay the additional zone on top of the ticket. I can't remember how the fare system and zones work. It is pretty complicated because I am so use to Toronto's simple system. Also, always take back your ticket after sliding it into the ticket metre.<br /><br />- You planned one day around Stanley Park...good plan! It is actually quite a large area. Fortunately, there are free trolleys (green). There is also a beach at the South-West entrance of Stanley Park.....it is not a nude beach...<br /><br />- You may want to check out Grouse Mountain, Lynn Canyon, or Capilano on Tuesday morning.<br /><br />- There are supermarkets nearby the hostel where you can purchase groceries or evening snackage. Even a fresh fruit stand. All North-East from the hostel. The hostel has a well equipped communal kitchen.<br /><br />- Enjoy yourselves at Granville Island, and bring a treat or two back from "Stuart's Bakery".<br /><br />- Lots of beggers, and for goodness sake, avoid East Hasting or Chinatown unless you need your crack fix!<br /><br />Good stuff! I hope you enjoy your trip!Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728723856010656874noreply@blogger.com
