After much anticipation, it was on 18 February now and we finally got our first visit to Canada. Richard, a friend from school, landed in Vancouver for 15h. He did not come empty-handed, many thanks to them for the many gifts ...
had since we have a tight schedule and as Richard only a barely noticeable jet-lag had, we were on the first day with a city tour and a hike in Lynn Canyon Park start.
On the second day we went early in the spring, because of 7 clock we rented a car to Seattle. That was for us the first trip to the United States. On the way we visited a factory outlet mall in Tulalip and the last resting place of Bruce Lee. In Seattle, we enjoyed a coffee in the first first Starbucks in the world and walked along the waterfront, the Space Needle. Seattle is a great city and always worth another visit.
great side effect of the trip, everything is dirt cheap compared to Canada and we have also exploited.
Monday slept from Vanessa and Richard and Hannah moved to his next job, this time on land. Starting next Tuesday, he is in a Starbucks barista.

| Whistler Village | |
Tuesday it finally: "Whistler come, we do," . A Greyhound bus (Geissler serving the route does not, unfortunately) brought us in 2 ½ hours in one of the 10 most popular ski resorts in the world, Whistler Village. We stayed at the HI hostel, the remaining property of Olympic athletes 2010th Everything was new and therefore modern.
We spent 5 days on the many slopes of the two mountains Whistler & Blackcomb. In at times up to -27 ° C we had to wear thick. We can proudly report that Hannah still has all limbs and no broken bones are reported, only one rib, we are still not sure J No, he has made very good and in the last few days he could not just go super, high-spirited but also exercised little jumps. Was rounded off our stay by a fascinating "Fire & Ice show", where some ski and snowboard instructor jumped through burning hoops and showing off tricks.
Whistler full justice to its reputation. It's a great ski area and we are all Cases come back ...
Back in Vancouver was still a visit to Stanley Park, connected to the aquarium, on the plan. And then it was already almost actually take leave.

| Canucks vs. Predators | |
On the last evening we saw live in the Rogers Arena a disaster on an unprecedented scale. We were set to jubilation, for good reason, perform the "Canucks" on the table and a visit to the home stadium is one of the most expensive as ever. After two-thirds were no goals The Canucks actually poured for 3 and lost 0-3 against the Nashville Predators.
Today we brought Richard to the airport. Now we are back together and the day has us back.
the way, we do not come as planned in October to go home. The adventure continues. Three of us, we fly together on 4 October, Thomas (also a German work & traveler) to Sydney and spend another 4 months ...
