Day 2

After breakfast and all that shiz, our family boarded big bus to take a trip to Stanley Park. This park is 22 miles big, one of the largest urban parks in the world. Firstly we went to the aquarium, it was incredible. It was so popular that queues snaked their way down the road.

Among other things we saw: jellyfish, tarantulas, dolphins, snakes, butterflies and the first baby beluga whale born in captivity! We had a talk about grey-horned owls where we got to get up close and personal.

Next, we went on the mini railway around a small track in the woods and above water. After millions of lectures on how fattening they were, the girls decided to eat nachos for lunch. They were amazing and well worth the calories. We had a lovely meal and an even lovelier waiter called Scott.

After filling our stomachs we went to the totem pole park to see totem poles. They were colourful, tall and really showed the culture of the native-americans in the world of yesterday haha. We were also reacquainted with the adorable Quatchi, where we continued our campaigning for mummy and daddy to purchase one for us.

We then journeyed on the free shuttle bus to prospect point, a beautfiul viewing point of the park. We saw an amazing view of Lions Gate bridge and saw a wild racoon wandering about (who nearly killed mummy - no wonder she was terrified).

We had amazing rolo and kitkat ice-cream and relaxed and talked. After our break we took many modes of transport until we finally reached our welcoming hotel. Then the family split, the parents and boys went out for supper and the girl went shopping across the road. Katy bought a great lipstick and Bexy bought some american eagle tracksuit bottoms.

We then went to bed exhausted but fulfilled!
