After a lazy start, we missed breakfast today (luckily this led on to churros and soft pretzels a bit later in the day). We had a short drive to the Capilano Suspension Bridge which they'd made into a tourist attraction. This was the first touristy photo opportunity we came across. Mum and Dad sat in a photo frame with odds and ends around them.
And here's the second...and many more to come!
This isn't tacky at all...
Oh well! We're on holiday. We hope that this is the closest we actually get to a bear.
Spot Sophie on the suspension bridge...
It looked nice and steady until you actually got on it.
We really were in the treetops here. This was the Treetop Adventures walk.
This little cabin had a Gone Birdwatching sign on it...Gone to Lunch is more like it! Mum and Dad took the opportunity to put their feet up.
We can't tell...did Sophie take the picture at a funny angle or is it the cabin about to fall in the pond?
Looking down at the lovely river.
We fell in love with this beautiful hanging basket.
Sophie doing an impression of Dad. Play up Pompey!
Mum added this photo to the collection because she thought it was lovely.
Just to show you how high the suspension bridge is.
This is the cliffwalk. We didn't really leave Mum behind, she eventually caught up after taking several pictures for Japanese tourists.
Mum is catching up! We were nearly on firm ground by this point.
This is a glass floor overhang for the daring, so of course Sophie was special enough to try it out.
Display stand of potted arrangements. You might see a planted arrangement like this in our garden next year.
Looking at the body language, Sophie and the guy next to her seem to have had an argument.
Rainbow Trout at feeding time. They put 300 in the pond each year to encourage the otters to come up and eat them. They also attact osprey.
Suspension Bridge traffic jam due to a theatrical lady who seemed to give up and sit down in the middle of the bridge holding up the queues either way.
On the road again tomorrow. Possibly we'll go to Whistler but the forecast says it's raining so who knows.

Wow. That is a super tall rooftop walk. Too many people for my liking. Did Dad do the usual thing of trying to swing it from side to side? *laugh* When i was in Oz we did a similar walk and they had a map there of all the other suspension walks in the world. Yours must've been on that map ;0) Great tourist-y snaps too ;0) Love S xx
Some amazing photos, looks like you're all having a lovely time. Looking forward to watching your adventure. Denise xx
