Unbelievable but i am finally moving on after being in Vancouver for 3 months. Its been totally wonderful and I have met some really great people especially my hosts and their family. My last week was still exciting as i had mom and dad here and we did some cool stuff. See below.....
Day 1 - Vancouver - Capilano Fish Ladder
Today we returned the hire car - sob sob! Its amazing how you take having your own car for granted, i don't any more! Before we took the car back we went to the fish ladder at Capilano, this is an amazing experience and shows you the life cycle of salmon. You might think pah, but these are pretty amazing fish. They survive in both fresh and sea water, travel for miles and miles out to sea for a few years and then return going up stream jumping over rocks and facing all sorts of dilemmas to get back to their breeding ground in fresh water - if you do anything check this info out, its totally fascinating. There are fish ladders all over Canada which are really man made bypasses up the steam which have fast running water and jumps and the fish dig it man, the harder the jump the better. The fish ladder at Capilano has windows so you can watch the fish jump and they really are skilled at this, i don't think i could eat salmon again knowing that i may be interfering with his/her life cycle.
A heron waiting patiently in the right place he knows exactly where the salmon come in. The next two pics are of the actual fish ladder.
Some interesting signs...
The first part not sure exactly what they are trying to get across or what these canadians are upto, however the second sign implies that the canadians do jump off toilet seats! I dont know...

Apparently canadians are not cleaning up behind themselves, naughty naughty! So Africa is not the only country with problems, eh!
