Here are some thoughts on how to get the most bang for your buck while you're here.Vikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10067845590374906879noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019265553027904958.post-8901586585696626712009-03-21T18:07:00.001-07:002009-06-10T13:04:00.959-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eJQI2iX5q-w/ScWRlchkcsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/6SiheTzFfVE/s1600-h/bench.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eJQI2iX5q-w/ScWRlchkcsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/6SiheTzFfVE/s200/bench.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315815007678919362" /></a>If you take the walk along the Inner Habour described in my last post, you'll end up near Fisherman's Wharf. It's a great place to rest up after your exertions... maybe have some of Barb's world-famous fish & chips ($), and explore the docks. Up across the parking lot (at the rear of Shoal Point) is the lovely and atmospheric Moka House ($), which serves fresh & appealing coffee house fare; and if you walk back up to Superior, you find the beautiful Superior Cafe ($$), which serves tapas style gourmet plates. From here, you can either walk downtown, or you can pop up to the entrance of Shoal Point and take a transit bus back downtown for $2.25.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eJQI2iX5q-w/ScWSRD3FdBI/AAAAAAAAAVo/0-iYj0kmWeU/s1600-h/IMGP0647.JPG"><img style="float:left;
