In Vancouver,
Mum and me went out into the country side of Vancouver and went on a walk across the Bridge Walk. It is a bridge which suspends between two cliffs (450 ft long), over a river, about 230 ft up! I wasn't really bothered about the height but Mum surely was!!
I liked this quite a lot, most of the time I was laughing at Mum, because although suspended 230 feet up, the river was amazing and looked really beautiful with the lake and mountains in the background.
As we got to the end of the bridge, we walked around a little pond where trout were hiding, waiting for bread to fall, and we saw a bird trainer holding an eagle! It was pretty damn cool.
After staring at the bird for about 5 minutes, we continued walking around the lake and found a Treetops Adventure, Mum wasn't so keen but I was so she had to come (haha!). We walked along the suspended bridges and looked across the river and lake. It was a spectacular sight. We moved along and got to the end of the Treetops Adventure.
We then bought an ice-cream each and sat in the sun. As we were eating, a squirrel came up behind me wanting some food, I was about to but then someone said not to cause they might bite my hand..
Anyway, we finished our ice-cream then crossed the bridge again (I laughed some more at Mum) then we went over to the Cliff Walk. This was very fun, as we got to walk along a cliff and Mum was scared. We got to the end and that was the end for our trip to Vancouver!
We are now in Toronto.
First thing about summer in Toronto.. IT IS VERY VERY HOT!!! Our first day in Toronto and it was 80-90% humid and 35 degrees C! Thank god we found the air conditioning unit.
On our third day, we took a day trip out to Niagara Falls! and it was spectacular! As we soon arrived we could tell it was going to be great. We looked over the fence and it was amazing.
We strolled along the outside of the Falls and decided to go on the Maid of the Mist. This was very exciting as the Maid of the Mist is a boat that travels directly into the falls!
We had to wait about 5-10 minutes before we could climb aboard, which was fine except for the fact that we had these plastic raincoats which, when put on, makes you extremely hot and sweaty which isn't very nice. But as we got on, and started to move, it got very windy and wet!
It was nice to go through the mist of the slightly smaller waterfall but when we got to the proper Niagara Fall, it was amazing. We got about 700 m away from the actual fall and a huge amount of water came out of nowhere and splashed everybody on board. It was amazing and definitely worth while!
