Rather than do the usual visit in a big city of streets and shops we opted to hire cycles and tour around Stanley Park for the day. It was awesome!

The hotel gave us a voucher and we were a 14 min walk from the cycle hire place where we picked up bikes with baskets. We followed the cycle paths around the Sea wall and it was great fun.

We cycled 17.87 miles in total starting at 11:15 and dropping the bikes of at 16:15 – so 5 hours exactly. Stanley park is huge and we got lost a couple of times but the cycle paths are just fantastic and really easy to ride on. What a great and different day.
