Vancouver airport has been refurbished (Daddy's word) for the 2010 Winter Olympics and is very nice.
We spent two days in Vancouver.
On the first afternoon we walked a long, long way across a bridge and to the McMillan Space Centre. We found out some details and next morning Mama and Daddy were better organised and so we took a base to the space centre. It was full of really cool stuff like the planetarium and the alien encounter display.
We spent about three hours there and then caught a bus, a water bus and another bus to Grouse Mountain. At the bottom of the mountain, Mama said goodbye to us and began climbing about 3000 steps to the top. Daddy and I were smarter and we paid to go to the top in a sky ride. It swung a couple of times but was pretty smooth and we had a great view of the city. At the top we got some great pictures of two grizzly bears that are in an enclosure that is electrified. The rangers said the bears only eat nuts and berries but it was good there was an electrified fence there anyway because they were pretty big.
We wandered back to meet Mama when she arrived all puffed and complaining that she wore too many clothes for the walk. On the way down in the sky ride she then complained it was cold. A bus and a water bus later we were back at the hotel.
That night we had a meal at some crepe place. And I had a ...
MILKSHAKE
It was pretty rich and creamy but the flavour seemed a little average. I drank it with pizza. (Daddy's note: hey, you try feeding a 10-year-old good food on the run all the time!)
All in all I rate the milkshake a four out of seven and look forward to better as our journey continues.
Off to sleep now. Plenty of travel still to come.
Thanks for reading and for the messages.

Hi Mac
I had a Wendy's milkshake today. It was a 4 out of seven. I've actually had milkshakes rated as a 1 out of seven (mummy's comment - at Cafe Mondiali).
I'm missing you seriously. Why did you have to go away :-)
Still liking pie
