Hi, Mum! How is your day going? Hope all is well! I'm having a great holiday here.
Yesterday, Aunt Sheila and I went to Vancouver. It’s about 80km from the university.
We did lots of activities there.
First, we visited Stanley Park and I took a lot of pictures. Then we took a ferry to
Granville Island. We saw three orca whales swimming alongside our ferry. Aunt
Sheila said that they are killer whales. I was scared but excited. After that, we went
back to Barclay Hotel to have lunch. In the evening, we went swimming and sailing.
We’re now in North Shore Mountains. The view from the top is fantastic but I forgot
my camera!
Mum, I’ve got to go now. Aunt Sheila promised to take me to CF Pacific Mall for
shopping. I’ll buy you smoked Salmon and some souvenirs. Catch up with you later!

Hi, there! I’m Adam. I’m doing something I’ve never done before – I’m flying in a
hot-air balloon. It’s hot inside because of the flame. But the view from up here is
amazing. You can see for miles – it’s a beautiful scenery.

9th June
Hello! My name is Brad. Today I was on the river. I’ve never been kayaking before. A
kayak is smaller than a canoe. We practised in the morning with the instructor at the
kayak school. Then in the afternoon we travelled down the river. The river was
awesome, it’s very colourful at this time of year.

Hi, what’s up? I’m Cathy. Now, I’m in the west of Rocky Mountains. There’s a lot of
