Day 5: Capilano Suspension Bridge

Day 5 began with cinnamon sugar crepes with eggs & bacon. I had a wonder around bought some gift crap & a new rucksack as the handle on my bag broke :(
Then Ange got me & we headed to the Capilano suspension bridge.
Holy f*** it was far up! You walk across the bridge first which sways as you walk & I have no idea how far down it was. You then walk around various trails with more little suspension bridges in the trees. Its epically beautiful and I'm sure I would have appreciated it more if I wasn't a) terrified & b) so incredibly unfit.
We made it around the trees so rewarded ourselves with coffee and a Canadian treat that I can't remember the name of. Then we went on the cliff walk. That was fairly scary too. You've probably seen the pictures on Facebook of me not wanting to walk on see thru metal or glass panels....it was fun though!
We had a little trip to Sephora & I treated myself to lipstick & eye-shadow.

Ange's Dad isnt doing too good so she had to stay in, but I headed out to see a band called The Revellers at The Revel Room in Gas town.
I walked cuz it didn't look that far. It was quite a walk!!! Anyhoo I sat at the bar & ate tacos & drank beer whilst watching the band.
The bar staff were so efficient & hot. You'd barely finished a drink before another was waiting. Awesome service. I met an old dude called Gordon & a 42 yr old restaurant owner called Can who bought me a shot of Whiskey. He was cool, but married & kept me entertained. It was a fun evening. I'm glad I braved it. I got a cab home, got snacks & watched Boy Meets World before I fell asleep.
Good times :)
