Amazing the bribery power of a stack of pancakes and maple syrup to get a sleepy 12 year old out of bed. After another great breakfast at Ricky’s we waddled our way down to the SkyTrain and again headed off to North Vancouver. Our destination today was Grouse Mountain, a cable car ride to the best view over the city and coastline and soon to be home to some of the 2010 Olympic skiing and snowboarding events. Up at the top we took a ski lift even higher up, saw a couple of grizzly bears at the animal refuge, watched a beautifully choreographed but actually very entertaining lumberjack show and saw a display of birds of prey.
Our daily maple syrup intake was topped up by a maple walnut ice cream which means we’ll soon join the customers of the SuperScooter “ideal for the elderly, otherly abled or larger sized persons” which I’ve just seen advertised.
