I started by going to Jericho Beach. I wasn't really sure about the bus road but I always find my bearings easily and I finally found my way to the beach.
It's a nice place, different from what I've seen before in Vancouver - my only experience of "beach" here was English Bay. The beach is a beach, there's nothing more to say, but the view of the city is amazing.
There wasn't a lot of people but it's not hard to imagine how it is in the summer... crowded, without any doubt!
After that, I've decided to go to another beach : Kitsilano Beach. I walked for a while in Kitsilano and I've found this area very cute. I know it's simpleton, but I really think it's cute!
Then, I arrived at Kits Beach. Another beach, another view of the city. It's nice to walk along the seawall, especially when the weather is good. I've found the famous Kits Pool, apparently the Canada's longest pool, that I find a bit useless... I mean I can understand that people prefer swimming in a heated swimming pool instead of swimming in an ocean polluted by big freighters and I don't know if it's because the swimming pool is right on the beach but I think it's a bit strange.
On my way to go back home, I stopped on the 4th Avenue in a coffee shop called 49th Parallel Roasters, recommended by Dave. I didn't choose the coffee served in a siphon (or whatever it is) but I saw it, that's funny. I've just ordered a coffee with a chocolate bread... (I don't know how to translate the name in English...) It was just delicious, the first pastry I've eaten here which had a real taste of pastry... It was a good advice !
After this nice pause, I went back to Burrard Station by foot, enjoying the end of this beautiful day in Downtown.
