1st Weekend!!

Planned to visit the highlands of Vancouver for the Capilano Suspension bridge, Stanley Park and Northern Vancouver but gave the highlands a miss in the end due to bad weather and expensive admission fees. However, did managed to cover quite a lot of distance on our first outdoor trip!!

Stanley Park was our first destination and it was great! The air was refreshing and squirrels and creatures of the like were scurrying and hoping everywhere!! The best part was they don't seem to be afraid of humans and hence we could get quite near to them!! Saw a rather big raccoon as well and the kids there were getting all excited looking at it scavenging through the rubbish bin for its breakfast.

Any breakfast for me??

Entrance of the aquarium..

Proceeded to taking a bus to cross the Lions Gate Bridge but didn't manage to take a close-up photo of it which was pretty wasted. But we made it up by having a nice lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant which serves delicious pho and spring rolls! FYI, pho is a Vietnamese dish which comprises of noodles with beef in soup. Ha, our new Vietnamese friend from NUS, treated us to the spring rolls!! Thanks for the treat Ha!!

After lunch, we went on to Londsdale Quay where we took the Seabus to return to Downtown Vancouver. Alighted at Canada's largest port, Waterfront, we then took the Skytrain to the Vancouver Flea Market where Vince grabbed a cheap deal! A pair of waterproof heavy duty boots for 30 Canadian dollars! But he realised the size was a little too small in the end, though he's most willing to bear with it for our trip to Whistler!! haha...


Not too bad for our first "expedition" as we just came out without planning our routes!! Amazingly, we didn't get lost, thanks to the people whom we approached for directions! I must say Canadians are very helpful and friendly!

Sunday was spend recuperating as the whole week was hectic and tiring. Vince, Zhenni, Ha and i whipped up a rather decent meal i must say.. Don't drool pls.. lol

i know it looks ugly, but it is delicious k!
