Another day awake at 5 40am, although this is a 10 minute improvement compared to previous nights, we went down to brekky around 7 45 which is also quite an improvement on the usual down-an-hour-early.
Today we decided to conquer emily's fear of heights and headed to the capilano suspension bridge, the weather was set to be roasting so we set off around 8 30am so it would still be cool for our hike there. The hike there was a little longer than expected, its funny how on the map these distances look so short, it turned out to be a 6 mile uphil treck which took us the better part of 2 hours from the hostel, we were both fairly knackered. Once we got there we got$10 discount for just being scottish (AMAZING) and we had a tour around the "temperate rainforest" surrounding the bridge.
Emily: i conqured my fear as i walked across the shakey bridge 150ft above ground level, which is "twice the size of the tajmahal" or so we were told. I was scared to start off with as it was rickety and higher than anything i have walked over before and it looked really unstable but i started to relax my grip on the rope when steff reminded me the tour guide said it could hold a boeing747.
It was a lovely day out, and we headed back to the hostel for something to eat. When we got back we heard that 1 of steffs freinds from last year was in vancouver at the same time as us so we decided to meet up. AND HE BOUGHT US ICE CREAM! Em thoguht he was going to be a weirdo but he turned out to be a very friendly guy. And we had a good catch up and em made a new friend.
EM GOT REALLY SUNBURNT!
I thought it was a little dishonest of you to get a dicount on your day out for being Scotish. As i am sure you are both aware that Nottingham is in England (Stephanie)and Emily you were born in Yorkshire (according to Uncle Chris the most English of Engish counties). However i truly admire your tencity and our both quite obviously from good Stovold stock.
