(Sophie) - Bye Vancouver, I really enjoyed you. We were leaving Vancouver today and we woke up really early and daddy went to collect our car. It was black and shiny and the steering wheel was on the left hand side - strange. Daddy then drove on the wrong side of the road - strange again. We drove through Stanley Park and over Lionsgate Bridge and arrived at Capilano Suspension Bridge. First of all we saw the totem poles and pretended we were one. Then we went o...

(Sophie) - We walked to an area of Vancouver called Gastown and ate a delicious cranberry and orange muffin with a strawberry and banana smoothie - the best way to start the day!In Gastown there is a steam clock that is run by steam.

Look at the video.We then had a friendly lady pick us up and take us to Horseshoe Bay where we ...

His t-shirt was completely covered in holes, but he didn't care. He was also the hairiest man I've ever seen. There was also a street band with a drummer,...

(Sophie) - Here we are in Vancouver after a long day (up at 4am). The flight was a long 10 hour flight but I watched three films and read a book so it wasn't too bad, and now we are here it was worth it! Just had a little rest at the hotel and now we are going to watch some fireworks!!! (Belle) - I've arrived at Vancouver. Its been a long day and I am very tired. At the airport there was a mini indoor play area that had different punch bags and rollers that were...
