Vancouver Aquarium and a Nationalpark near the skytrain-station „Commercial and Broadway“ with Navid.
canadiantour, 22:23h
Friday, Aug 5:
I was told the day before that the whale watching won't be on Saturday, but on Friday. Actually I already had got other plans for Friday but I somehow managed it to change them in order to get free time for the whale watching thing.
So I wasnt able to sleep a bit longer on Friday, but already got up at aroung 8 am. I got ready and headed for the Samesun hostel to meet Stefan there, a guy from German who is able to speak English as fluently as German probably =D =) He was the one who organised the whale watching tour. Well, when I arrived there and shared breakfast with him, he called the whale watching organisation to find out if the weather is ok or not for such a tour. Well, he just found out, that he booked the spots not for Friday, but for Saturday xD =D
So we both got up for nothing. At first glance at least. Instead he suggested to go the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park. And that was quite nice.
There were different shows offered: we watched the dolphin-, bird- and the beluga-show The best was probably the one with dolphins =) the Aquarium is not actually that big, so we went through it quite fast. Besides to animals of the sea, there were as well birds, snakes and monkey to mention only some.
During that tour Stefan and I got to know each other loads better. He paid the entry for me by the way, cause he felt quilty for mixing up the date of the whale watching tour xD but actually i did not mind that much.
I was about to meet Steffi, Tanja and Navid at Granville station. There was still some time left till we were about to meet the others, but soon the moment had come when we had to walk to Granville Station. The thing was then, that Steffi and Tanja did not turn up... I called Tanja but did not understand properly why they could not come – so i left Stefan behind and went on with Navid (the guy i got to know at the couchsurfing-meeting) to some other place. He showed me the libraray and took me to a nationalpark which is quite near the station „commercial and broadway“.
We were sitting at the border of the lake at first, later lying in the shade on the grass (I already got sunburned a bit in the face... even though i put sun screen on it).
Soon we got back to downtown, meeting Stefan on the way to the hostel. navid went home to get changed, Stefan and i went to his hostel (samesun) and actually wanted to meet navid again at robson square (for there should be some artists and dancers). But we were both too tired for that.
So i went home pretty early and went to bed ;) =)
