ChinatownOne of the biggest in North America, quite an experience, you would think that you were actually in China. Interesting food stuffs, it did make me wonder if i would cope in Asia as i lost my appetite completely!
Grouse Mountain
Having already been up Grouse Mountain i decided to walk up and meet Mom and Dad at the top. So the walk is not called the Grouse Grind for nothing!! It took me two hours and it was hell. It is an extremely steep and mountainous trail that climbs 853 m over a distance of 2.9 km with an average grade of 30 degrees, gruelling! But i did it and i actually felt pretty good when i got to the top!
The weather wasn't great this day but we still went up in the chairlift to the highest point, watched the lumberjack show and Dad saw the birds of prey show - its actually good value for money as all the shows are included in the price. I did mention this previously when i first went up that there are two Grizzly bears living at the top, they are enclosed but have a large area to roam around in, they were both rescued as cubs and are now aged 8. They were very active this day, so i got some great shots, so more boring bear pics!!!Boating off Vancouver
Lionel took us up the coast on his launch which was great fun! We went to Centre bay for lunch had a look round and then back down to Vancouver, a really nice day trip!
