Stanley`Park & English Bay

Seeing how sunny the weather was, Zhenni, Vince and I decided to go Stanley Park and English Bay for cycling. Upon reaching Denmark Street where we could rent out bicycles, we had our lunch at this place call FatBurger. I would say they serve the best burger that I have tasted so far in Vancouver! Juicy and tasty, with relish, mustard, onions, lettuce and not to mention, cheese!!



Our order! Needless to say, the biggest burger
on the right is mine!! Haha..



After lunch, we proceeded to the nearby bike shops to rent our bikes. We realised that most of the shops close at 5pm and it was already 2-ish! We later were told that it takes one to one and a half hour to cycle to Stanley Park. Though we didn't believe that, we decided to play safe and skip renting the bikes since there wouldn't be enough time to cycle there and back to return them in time. However, when we took a bus to Stanley, it took less than 5 mins!! Stupid shopkeepers, don't know what are they thinking of? Probably they thought we were gonna cycle so slow that it will actually take us that long %@#*&

Upon reaching, we headed to the Vancouver Aquarium which we missed out the last time we there.

Vince & me @ the aquarium entrance

Stamps on our hands for admission.




Introducing the star of the aquarium *drum roll*... The belugas!! They are white whales which look oddly shaped to me haha..





Of course, how can we miss out the cute sea otters and dolphins?!






Orange frog!

Some weird looking creature..

Now, how did i get in there?

Fossil of some prehistoric fish that lived till now..

Huge fishes!

Yummy African cockroaches!!

The infamous Madagascar cockroaches from Fear Factor!!


After the aquarium, we went to take a walk around the rest of Stanley..

A tree trunk what has been struck into 2 i think..

Like the backdrop of this photo..

Totem poles!
Mini lighthouse..


After walking around, we decided to walk further down to look for totem poles and it turned out to be such a long walk!! Legs began to ache halfway when we had to walk back from the pole till we saw this red bull mini cooper which stopped and offered us red bull!! Haha, what a way to re-energize ourselves!!

Lifesavers!


After that, we headed to English Bay. On the way, we came across this Japanese Ramen restaurant and decided to have dinner, though we were more interested in just sitting down and rest..


Joel told us that English Bay was like a place where you will just look at it and admire its view for 5 mins and that's all to it. He was damn right haha.. Well, at least we were in time to catch the sunset, but the skies were cloudy otherwise it could have been much nicer..

Look at the following picture to know what this statue is..


Ciaoz!~!
