Day in Vancouver, BC

Today we ate an early breakfast on the ship and took a couple of hours to "disembark". There was supposed to be an "excursion" to Capilano Bridge, but for some reason it was cancelled. We were going to do a lot of things today... Capilano Bridge Park, Stanley Park, Granville Island. By the time we got to the airport to rent a car, then drove to our B & B to drop off our stuff, it was almost 1pm. The traffic in Vancouver is the worst I have ever experienced. They don't have a freeway around the city. It was so so so congested. By 2pm, we made it to Capilano Bridge Park which was only 7 miles away. 7 miles per hour thru the city. The park was amazing. A "rainforest" with one 300 ft suspension bridge, then many smaller bridges that go from treetop to treetop. Good thing I didn't get to go to the gym today, because I will definitely be sore from this workout I had today on all of the steps. Our B & B in downtown Vancouver. Jasmine freaking out when she has to walk across the swaying suspension bridge:))) Walking out over a U-shaped bridge that goes from a cliff over top of the forest! Most amazing scenery! She's not scared anymore:) Standing on a glass bottomed lookout with clear acrylic sides:) Going home tomorrow morning!! Yay!

What a charming B & B...very pretty.

In those middle photos Jasmine looks a bit nervous, being up that high in the air. Knowing she did it, though, should boost her confidence next time she decides to do something daring.

She was really only nervous and making a big scene on the first and largest bridge. After that, she was just fine, including coming back over that same bridge again. Such a beautiful place with so much history to it.
