Vancouver is one of these rare cities of the world that have the best of everything. It's a town of a quite remarkable size (2 million inhabitants) however the central part of the city is not too big, so you can get around easily. Then the city is right on the coast which means that there are a lot of beaches (and the harbour of course). And last but not least Vancouver is surrounded by mountains, some of which are pretty close which is perfect for hiking - and skiing. One of those mountains, Grouse Mointain, is just 20 minutes from the city center. This is where I went today.
After taking the gondola up and a chairlift up to the mountain top you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city. That is, if there's a clear view, which did not really happen today. Nevertheless it was an amazing experience. Just the feeling of being on top of the mountain is great (and quite cold). Plus they do have two grizzly bears living up there and a hillarious lumberjack show. So, if you ever come to Vancouver and have a spare day - go to Grouse Mountain!

Tomorrow I'm leaving Vancouver. That means I'll have to pack my bag once again, get to the airport once again und take a flight once again. Then I'm moving into my flat, meeting my roommates and finally next week getting to know my university. I really don't know what's expecting me in Kamloops and I'm really thrilled to find out! I will keep you updated as soon as I have access to internet!
Have a good night's sleep (haha), have a good flight (not so long this time) and have a good time with your roommates (which I'm sure you will have).
ReplyDeleteAnd could you please, pretty please, send me some of this beaver tail - I think FedEx actually does foods *.*
