as we pulled into the island we took in the beautiful views; boats, pretty little houses, and lovely foliage. i couldn't get over how many cherry blossom trees they had in seattle and it seems bainbridge island had their fair share too!
while we were on bainbridge island we admired the many pretty flowers and looked in the different shops. we stopped for lunch at the harbour inn, an english themed pub, for fish and chips. the pub overlooked a very busy harbour, absolutely chock-a-block with boats!
after our lunch, stroll and a quick look around a couple of secondhand bookshops - we caught the ferry back across to downtown. as it was a clear day we were very lucky and we could see mount rainier as we pulled away from the island. we were told that this was a rare sight indeed so made sure we took plenty of snaps.
once we were back on dry land jam and i went over to pike place market. the market is a huge daily market selling a huge variety of goods from fish, fruit & veg to comic books and glass work. we also saw the very first ever starbucks which is located across from pike place market. we didn't go into the starbucks though as it was so busy there was even a queue of people waiting to go in!
that finished off our time in seattle, definitely one of my favourite places we've been, and the next day we were to make the short journey across the border to vancouver in canada.
