Our third and final visit to Vancouver and we loved it. Day one consisted of doing the 'grouse grind', i.e climbing Grouse mountain instead of getting the cable car. Bit not before we bumped into the Vancouver half marathon, which meant lots of freebies. waffles, fruit, muffins, don't mind if i do!! then getting on the ferry across to North Vancouver, we bumped into the south african guys we'd met in Squamish, such a small world. But the great thing about attempt...

The last of our Moose Tours started today and we headed to Whistler with our driver Cam on the Eric bus. On leaving we had a little tour of Stanley park. Learned a bit about Vancouver and the university area with the nude Reck beach, that Kennys too scared to visit.Saw a man flying a 'build it yourself' helicopter, I'm not usually impressed by this type of thing but he watched it through a mask and it was controlled by a remote. We learnt how they release animals...

Needless to say, even less impressed, when this resulted in us missing the ferry, taking at least 5 hours...

Was quite nervous about going on it, after some iffy experiences we had in America, but we just kept watching to make sure our bags didn't go walkies. At around 4am, I saw my life flash before my eyes as the bus fired on the breaks and went side to side making me think it was going to tip!! Bags flying everywhere and a little kid sliding down the bus, "sorry" shouts the driver. Turns out there were...
