Capillano

The boys have taken a liking to maple syrup. Their adaption of a "first breakfast" on waking in the R.V.  - is to make themselves a toasted peanut butter and Nutella sandwich over which they pour maple syrup. Second breakfast today was waffles, bacon and maple syrup.

A one and a half hour drive along the multi-lane Trans Canada Highway 1A  to The Capillano Bridge Park in North Vancouver. This highway is the main arterial route for moving  produce and goods across Canada so extremely busy with huge trucks and vehicles making their way into Vancouver.

The park is a tourist destination. This has the effect of making the suspension bridge sway a lot. On the cliff walk Jacob was not happy with the vertiginous drop, but rallied well and went round the tree trail. The boys completed The Rainforest Trail, so earned a  Rainforest Explorer Badge each.

The day was completed by a pizza supper eaten on the deck and Dave lit a fire so that the boys could make smores. This gave Marcus the opportunity to use one of Dave's machetes to produce toasting sticks for the marshmallows. A full moon, star gazing, Jack Daniels by the fireside and two very exhausted boys asleep in the R.V. Another day in Canada, many photographs and memories that will be recalled in the future.
