Just a super short ride over the Granville Bridge from downtown Vancouver and you're at Granville Island, which is not really an island but who cares about the little details. Granville Island is one of those touristy places that everyone must schedule in when it's their first time there. There's restaurants, shops, a brewery where you can take a tour and then try all kinds of diff beer and best of all, a super cool public market! It was so drizzly while we were there that I wasn't able to take too many fotos. Also, we went there later in the afternoon and the brewery tour was full! Pooey! So it's a good idea to go early and sign up early. We ended up just walking around and taking everything in.
We stopped inside Roger's Chocolates to browse around and also mainly to get out of the rain for a bit. This shop specializes in fancy frou frou chocolates that are hand-wrapped. I'm sure there's more to it than just being hand-wrapped. Haha. The man working there happened to be Vietnamese and so we chummed it up with him pretty fast. He let us sample some chocolates as well as ice-cream. Mochi ended up buying some ice-cream but I decided not to since it was kinda cold outside.
