October 21st to 25th
LETS START THE ROAD TRIP with the 4runner!
After a 10 hours drive journey, we make it to Vancouver late in the evening! went straight to Sarah's place where an awesome air mattress was waiting for us!! went straight to sleep. Next morning I wake up by Sarah leaving to class on a horrible rainy day!!!( ok guys, in Vancouver it isn't cold, but it rains like a MoFo!). We stayed the whole afternoon in Sarah's place to work on some internet stuff, CV's, etc..
We leave on the evening to grab some Sushi for Emilie, Kristin, David and me!! We arrive to a small castle of 300 m2???of course, as in a good Castle, we get a KING SIZE BED ( once again in capital letters cause is BIG!), with huge bathroom with bath and shower,...After some beers, wine and Sushi we leave to the PNE to go to the Frigth Nights at PlayLand, after using Kristin's FoMo against her! (http://www.pne.ca/fright-nights/) where some rides, attractions, haunted houses and other Halloween stuff is waiting for us! Met some other people ( who surprising already knew me...???i guess I was in Vancouver in another precedent life..) and had fun!! Too bad there was so many people waiting for the attractions.But lucky us we had the best cab driver in town, A Passport girl on a phone and Piver paying with a bill on the bus coin machine...what else could we want!
Next morning, after the best night sleep ever ( seriously I wanna know where is that bed from...im so buying 1 and installing it in the 4 runner...dont know what David thinks about...), we got on our bikes and headed out into the city. We cruised along the ocean pathway through Vancouver over to Granville Island. We then crossed over the bridge and went down Davie St before cutting over to Robson to do some window shopping (it was hard to resist all the 50% off sales). We ended the day with the best thing ever - some ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI from Tanpopo's down on Denman St where Sarah joined us for dinner. We all enjoyed the meal some mor than others, ;let's say Sarah enjoyed this way> " I LOVE SUSHI, I JUST DON'T LIKE RAW FISH. I love what it comes with Sushi": Let's say David misunderstood what he was ordering for HIM and ended up eating MORE THAN 30 PIECES OF SUSHI. And for me, probably one of the best sushi's I would have had ( out of the ones in Asia) until the waiter told us what a BC Roll is > " The skin of the salmon fish, yummy" DISGUSTING!!!
On Sunday we became real Vancourites - we hiked up the Grouse Grind (in about 1h15mins) in POURING rain. It felt great once we were at the top! Got to see some Grizzly bears too!
That evening we had an awesome time at game/bbq night at emz's parent's place. We all got to learn what the word shart meant (for those who didn't know already), as the game consisted of questions, such as, something that is embarrassing to do in front of your friends. Then, everyone answers on a piece on paper, and then everyone has to guess who wrote what etc.
ps: Luna, the non-english speaker, won!I cant believe I was able to write a 7 words long sentence in English , all on my own!!! ( Kristin!!)
Monday we visited Stanley park (picture on right of us and the Totem Poles), and then had dinner with Sarah before heading over to the mechanic to get the breaks checked out - all is good!
