The Capilano Bridge is a suspension footbridge. It is 140 metres across and 70 metres high. It was like walking on a sailing boat because it swayed as you walked which made it hard to walk straight. Walking up the stairs at the other end was especially hard and much steeper.
On the other side there were posters of rocks and animals. The animals were more interesting.
Next we went to the tree hut. There were bird skulls and eggs. Up the stairs on the railing there were these marks that looked like some kind of secret message. A bit further on there was a pond with trout. But me and Dad also noticed something else, there were little insects in the water. Their arms and legs were stretched out and they were slowly drifting across the water.
Then we went on a cliff walk. We walked across this bridge and you could see cliff all around you! It was a very long bridge. There were trees on the rock walls. The trees were growing windy. They had a display about why the trees did that. There were other displays that were something to do with the ice cracking the rocks. There were glass floors on some parts. We took photos.
At the end there were knobs you turned to find answers to questions. One of the answers was that 1% of water is usable and 0.26% is drinkable. We looked at some really cool totem poles on the way out. The totem poles were stories. There was a totem pole with a hole in it. I used Zak as a foot stool when I had my photo taken through the hole.

I would not have liked that suspension bridge Emma
ReplyDeleteNeither would Auntie Tine. My feet would have gone all tingly if I had walked over that bridge. Great story Emma and I look forward to more photos.
