Teahouse at Stanley Park

Well,  we knew it as the Ferguson Point Teahouse.   We hadn't been there for years so decided to give it a try.   When we stayed at the Bayshore when we were living in Victoria,  we would walk from there round the seawall and then have lunch.  Many wonderful times!  A bit too long a walk for us now.  So,  we drove,  and had a nice tour of Stanley Park.  We hadn't done that for a while.  Jim was shocked that parking was $3.25 an hour (it does go down somewhat in the off-season) and it was a complete zoo....packed with tourists everywhere.  So,  we bailed,  parked in our Resident's Only parking on Beach Ave. and had a hotdog and sat on the seawall at English Bay.  Then went to The Sylvia to have a beer on their terrace.  Perfect!   We enjoy this view all the more since we don't have it all the time.  We did learn that they have an appie hour and appies are $8 from 3-5pm.  We'll wait until the tourists leave and  the parking is cheaper!
