Vancouver

Today we went on a city tour in a new coach. We all have labels of different animals to look out for during our trip. Lorraine and I are Wolverines. We stick the labels up above our seats and our tour guide changes it everyday for us to change seats, then everyone gets a chance to sit in the front of the bus. We went to Stanley Park and saw the totem poles, Chinatown, Gastown and Granville Island. We bought chocolate at ‘Rogers Chocolates’ and walked through the markets. We had a free afternoon so we went back to Capilano suspension bridge park and walked over the suspension bridge. It’s 137m long and 70m high. I wasn’t going to at first but with Lorraine’s encouragement I braved it (didn’t look down though). She had already gone over it once. There was also a cliff walk which I didn’t do, Lorraine was game enough to do it though (she’s also a bit scared of heights). After you walk over the bridge you can walk amongst the tree tops over 7 smaller suspension bridges, which I did. I was proud of myself afterwards. Tonight we went for a walk downtown to Gastown and had dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. The Gas Clock in Gastown lets off steam at 9 pm every night (in the day as well, but it’s better at 9 pm). Tomorrow we leave at 0630 to hop on our Rocky Mountaineer train, first stop is Kamloops. Looking forward to that!Read more
