Vancouver (day 18)

After breakfast we drove to Vancouver-North by car, where one of the most famous highlights of Vancouver is located: Capilano Suspension Bridge. Except for the 140 meters long suspension bridge there was also a 20 minutes during tour about all different kind of the trees that are growing in the park, after that you could climb the stairs into the trees where you could walk across 7 smaller suspension bridges throughout the park. After that we walked on a board walk through the park, where we had a view over the wild streaming water below us and the long suspension bridge. Also we walked the cliff walk high above the stream. The path down towards the exit leads past information signs about how humanity should think about the use of water, as much is wasted.

Next we drove back to Vancoucer city to rent bicycles. In four hours time we rode along the edge of Stanley Park, towards Granville Island. This small island, which is reachable via a big bridge is known for the food market that you can find here. We had a small snack here and then we rode back to the bike rental to return the bicycles, helmets (required in Canada) and key + lock. After taking the car again we drove back to Granville Island to buy something for dinner. After that we quickly drove on to Gastown, where we were yesterday to buy a souvenir. Finally we drove back to the guest house where we called it a day, as exhausted as we are. Tomorrow afternoon (local time) we will fly back to the Netherlands again... But in the morning we have some time left, so we will go to the botanical garden.
