(due to health inconveniences of the editorial office, we apologize for the delay ...)
On the second day, nature was the focus. The route led to Lynn Canyon Park, with its jungle-like stands of trees and several waterfalls.
The first challenge began a few meters after entering the park. It was necessary to cross the suspension bridge over a valley with a wild stream character. This is not a problem in principle - for most of us - but not for everyone. Especially since this is a bridge in the 'IBES' format that you know from the popular family show on RTL (or not, for people with class :) - For those who don't know: it is a rope bridge that absorbs the movements of the 'crossers' and gives them free space... Entire school classes moved across it and the kids seemed to agree: let's try a somersault...
After a little 'getting used to' time, the last one was also mentally prepared to take the first and later the last step on the bridge. It was rumored afterwards that a liberating 'strike' could be heard in the treetops...
The further path then led through the jungle-like area and over a mountain stream to the 30-Foot Pool. A crystal-clear, green shimmering, quite cold small waterfall with a lake that invited to try moderate cliff diving. Many young people were there and some dared to jump into the clear water...
Next, we continued to the 90-Foot Pool, which was closed to climbers and cliff jumpers, as too many seemed to have been injured and some were said to have died.
From Lynn Canyon Park, we then returned to civilization. It takes about an hour for a distance of about 3 kilometers during the Friday afternoon rush hour... The goal was Stanley Park.
Once there, there was a clear view of the Lions Head Bridge, a beautiful steel structure. And on the procurement of dinner by a raccoon, who - before you could get your phone ready - disappeared in the trash container.
On the tour through Stanley Park, there was also the Hollow Tree, which is famous for many wedding photos, because you can drive into the roots with the car to some extent, and the Siwash Rock, a 'cheap' version of the Loneley Cypress on Route 101 in California...
The conclusion was the totem poles of the indigenous people of the present state of British Columbia, the smallest lighthouse, and the attempt to take a selfie with the digital SLR (which turned out quite well...)
At the trusty supermarket, we quickly shopped for dinner and snacks. Then home and put our feet up...
