2019-08-11 Flyover Canada and Vancouver Aquarium

We started our day by walking down to Canada Place.  Canada Place is situated on the Burrard Inlet waterfront of Vancouver. 

I visited FlyOver Canada which uses state of the art technology to show some of Canada’s most wonderful sights.  I was hung suspended with my feet dangling in front of a 20 metre spherical screen.  The film shown gave me an amazing 8 minute journey across Canada from east to west.  There were special effects including wind, mist and scents which combined with the ride’s motion to create quite an experience.  A particularly pleasurable moment was when I saw the Rocky Mountaineer in one shot.  FlyOver Canada is not for people who do not like heights but this does not apply in my case.

Afterwards Ruth and I went back out to Stanley Park to visit Vancouver Aquarium.  We enjoyed the exhibits but a wet Sunday was not an ideal time to visit.  The place was heaving.  I didn't take many pictures because most of the exhibits were behind glass.

  

  

We ended our day sampling the hotel pool and hot tub.
