Friday 31st. "A day of Education"




To date the weather has been fab, but today the clouds have come in and we decide it would be good to knock it down a gear and chill out, I think the week is catching up with us, so we decide to head off to the Science Museum. The museum is situated down town and we are soon reminded that Vancouver also has it’s fair share of social problems like any other major city, but we dually find the Museum and in we go – two adults, two children and tickets for the 3pm showing of ‘The Human Body’ at the Imax cinema please - £30, not bad. Inside the Museum, the exhibits are mostly interactive and very well done, lots of things to punch, kick and fiddle with – Nicola had a ball. I myself was looking forward to the Imax show. 2.50pm let’s go to the pictures. I still, to this day, get excited at the thought of a cinematic experience and the anticipation sat in my chair is unbearable, so much so, that I miss half the film through rapid induced coma like sleep – oh well, what I did see was great.

On the way back – a quick trip to the shops for WD40 and bike tools – and then to Deep Cove and the Arms Reach restaurant to enjoy a well earned meal and a bottle of wine and to watch the sun go down on the beautiful cove and reflect on the roller coast ride of a week migrating to Canada has taken us on.



All in bed by 9.30 – night, Johnboy, Ma, Pa etc.
