The City of Vancouver, Stanley Park and Granville Island

Let me tell you folks (as they say here) Canada is just amazing!!
But let's start at the beginning. After sleeping another few hours in the first night I went to get my free muffin breakfast and headed to the city. I decided to have a look around and get a feeling of the city before starting the hardcore-sightseeing. So I strolled off and headed downtown. I walked trough the shopping street until I arrived at the end of the city, at the entrance to Stanley Park (which was not that far, actually). Then I walked back along the Seawall Walk along the harbour and back to Canada Place. I had an amazing salmon-cheese-toast at some Dutch restaurant and then took the glass elevator up to The Lookout, a skyskraper with a panorama-platform on top. Unfortunately, this was not as nice as I expected. The builing is quite small so you are kind of in the middle of all the other tall buldings and you don't get that "On top of the city"-feeling. In the evening I walked around Gastown and went to the first house of Vancouver to keep myself from going to bed early.
Today I made my way to Stanley Park, one of Vancouver's main attractions and  the biggest city park of all Canada. Inside the park you can walk, hike, bike or drive around, see gardens, the Vancouver Aquarium, different beaches (the park is surrounded by water) and some remaindants of the native people. Afterwards, I took the bus along false creek and headed to Granville Island in a small ferryboat. This island shows a wide range of markets, where you can buy almost everything.
So, these were my first days in Canada. I really like the country, the people and just the whole feeling you get here. Honestly, I think I never met a people that is so proud of it's nationality. It seems like every single Canadian is pround to say: "I'm Canadian and Canada is the greatest country on earth." But the awesome thing is, they are proud, not bragging. They are still so nice and interested in where you are from and everything. What a great example of national pride.
A fact I still have to get used to is that the prices shown on price tags are always without tax. It's not a major problem, I just keep forgetting it.
As for keeping contact, a big, big thank you to the creators of free wifi and whatsapp/facebook/email. In every public place or restaurant you have wifi. The only thing that keeps me from being able to get in touch with people at home is the fact that most people in Europe sleep when I'm awake. haha. But whatever, that's a minor problem. 
So, enough talking, here are some pictures for you (click on them to see them properly):
