Day 4 – Travel Day: Car to Ferry to Vancouver
Back through the windy mountains at 7:00 am, ferry back to Vancouver.

Final Stop: Vancouver Oct 2-4

Day 1 – Checked into the Sylvia Hotel. Constructed in 1912. In 1954 it opened the first cocktail bar in Vancouver. It sits right on English Bay near Stanley Park. The Sylvia now has heritage designation, so it should be around for a while.

Off to the Shameful for a short evening and say goodbye. “Anything happen while we were gone?”
Well they got new mai tai glasses, ok and socks..Socks!! and oh Los Straightjackets were here unannounced.. sigh

Day 2 – Granville Island
A Granville Island ferry is just a nice walk from hotel so we spent the day at the shops on Granville and then ferried back to catch, why yes another sunset, this time over English Bay

Sylvia Hotel – The Vancouver Cocktail – Yes, Errol Flynn frequented the Sylvia, so much so he died here apparently from “myocardial infarction, coronary thrombosis, coronary atherosclerosis, fatty degeneration of liver, and portal cirrhosis of the liver.” – Wiki.
