The Harbour Tower Center


This tower was easy to find.  Right down at the Waterfront and looming above the buildings.  An easy walk from Gastown....the two can be done together in a day....and night.
The cost was only about $15. each, and were for the entire day!  Which meant that we could check out the sights from the top during daylight, and then go back up again to see the town sparkle at dusk.


BC Place is the dome with the white cover.  It lights up beautifully at night.  The Vancouver fans of the football team are totally bummed out because Sunday their team lost their game and are out of the Grey Cup running!!  There were so many people dressed in orange on Sunday...we didn't understand why?


The view straight down????  Yikes.


Tidbits about British Columbia.


Deb admiring the view.


It has been raining since we arrived and really overcasted.  We are not complaining, but explaining why all my pictures are dark even when I touched them up......It is still beautiful Vancouver....


The white sails are Canada Place.  Reminiscent of Sydney, Australia's Opera House.



Deb's view while having coffee and waiting until dusk for the lights.


Oh yeah!!!  That is what I'm talking about......





We would highly recommend doing this trip up to the top if you are in Vancouver.  The views of the water, the mountains, the city.  On a clear day they say you can see Victoria......"hi Alexa".......
