Canada - Day 2 - Nature at Lynn Canyon

After exploring Vancouver for half a day, we weren't really in the mood for city life anymore. However, we didn't want to walk all the way back to Stanley Park again, our feet were really hurting after all the walking! At first, we considered going to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. But with an entrance fee of almost 40 dollars, it was quite expensive. After doing some research, we stumbled upon Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver. They also had a suspension bridge - and it was completely free! So we walked back to the parking lot, paid the affordable 6 dollars, and headed to Lynn Canyon. Our feet had recovered a bit after the 30-minute drive. However, we had to search for a parking spot for a while, it was quite crowded here. The bridge was also quite busy. If it looked the same on the Capilano Suspension Bridge, we were really glad we didn't pay for it. From the bridge, we had a great view of the canyon. The crowds along the canyon also dispersed as we went further, and we found a beautiful spot by the river where we relaxed in the pleasant sun. The water was - to put it mildly - freezing! We couldn't even keep our feet in there for long, it felt like an ice cold sensation that reached our heads ;)

We enjoyed the tranquility at our idyllic spot and continued walking as more people arrived. We walked along the circular path next to the canyon and enjoyed nature! Yes, we are definitely nature lovers, we liked it here better than in the city. However, at some point, we had to make our way back. Along the way, we bought some things again and noticed for the second time how expensive shopping in Canada is. We had to pay around 60 dollars for some crackers, peanut butter, water, granola bars, and a few toiletries! If this continued, we would have to decide whether we wanted to eat today or wash ourselves...

We arrived back at our accommodation around 8 PM. After being on the road for a good 13 hours, we were pretty exhausted and just wanted to sleep. Tomorrow, we would say goodbye to Vancouver and start our journey to Vancouver Island.
