I so admire your get up go and love of trying things, wish I was half as brave and gutsy as you. Callum's a lucky lad.

Love your piccies too !

Carol

Wow what a fantastic day you had - loving the wonderful photos.

Not sure I would have the nerve to do the zip trekking but then having seen your photo of DK I think he could tempt me on there!!!

Can't wait to read more

we have to catch the train back to Van this afternoon so spend the morning watching mentalist mountain bikers throw themselves off the top of huge hills.

another wonder around the town but I refrain from buying much as I'm desperate to get to Tiffanys in Vancouver.

14:00 we get picked up from the hotel and ferried back to the station for our return journey (same stunning scenery but in reverse).
won't post any pics of it as I'm sure you're as much scereryed-out as me)
back to Vancouver for 18:00 and dropped off at the Renaissance Harbourside, this was supposed to be our luxury stop as our last night but after the penthouse suite upgrades, it didn't make too much of an impression.
a dash up robson street for callum to buy gameboy games in HMV and me to gaze longingly at more shoes and boots that i really can't afford (although picked up some lovely undies in La Vie En Rose and a great top in Bebe). - no, Ian before you ask, I won't be posting pics of my nice new knickers
Tiffanys didn't have anything much to inspire me - I must be losing my touch! so we ate heartily and retired for our last night.

Day 16: back to the airport and overnight flight home

Great pictures Carol - especially love the ones in Maligne - the canoe one in particular. Don't like the look of Callums dead dog on a stick - yuck tell him not to bring it to any DIS meets please
