Vancouver, BC, Part 5: The Granville Island Public Market

Thursday morning, after checking out of the hotel, our first stop was the public market on Granville Island. You can drive there, but the little foot ferry under the Burrard St Bridge is more fun. 

 Before going into the large indoor market, we poked around the outdoor stalls and a few of the shops.

 Locals really do shop here.

 There were many interesting shops adjacent to the market. We checked out a few. 

 Then we found this cool cement plant!

 And "produce" truck. 

 We looked in shops and galleries under the Granville Bridge. 

 The north shore if False Creek - the downtown side - is lined with high rise condos.  

 A dock runs all along the water side of the market. this used to be a bustling waterfront. 

 A Festival of Wooden Boats was happening. 

 Let's go inside. 

 Piled high!

 We spent a lot of time ogling the goodies at this bakery display. Eating with your eyes is calorie free.

 There were vendors of prepared foods.

 And hand crafted items. 

 And quite an assortment of fruits not commonly found. 

 Bendors of meats and cheeses and smoked fish. 

 And then it was a little after 11:00, we were warm and tired, so we sat on the dock, in the shade, and ate gelato. Because, why not?

We caught the little ferry back to our car, which was parked in a ferry lot under the bridge, and were off on our next adventure.
