We returned to our hotel to drop off our car, have lunch and take the SeaBus from Lonsdale Quay to Downtown Vancouver. It was a beautiful day with temperature in the low 80s. The passenger ferry is a very convent and economical way for people from North Vancouver to get to Downtown. Round trip fair for seniors is 2.75.

The ferry terminal is next to the cruise terminal and convention center. The picture below was taken from the ferry terminal and shows a Carnival cruise ship in the foreground with the sail-like roof of the convention center in the background.

We then walked to Gastown and Chinatown. Gastown is where the city began. Today heritage buildings now house cool bars, boutiques,and galleries. A Gastown landmark is the steam clock which whistles every 15 minutes. Below are some Gastown scans including the clock.
