First RV breakfast

First breakfast outside our huge and fantastic motorhome, our home for another 18 nights. We're in Whistler, everyone happy, the weather sunny. Aslak is finishing off Michael's tasty spice cake, his favourite.

Vancouver art gallery

Aslak, Frode and Tori visited the art gallery with a Matisse exhibition. A nice museum! Aslak wanted to stay longer, but we're leaving today, and the old parents needed a coffee. There is a really nice cafe, like an oasis in the middle of the city.





Aslak laughing at sea gull's poo that nearly hit his head.

Harmony at the beach





Fotos by Robin, thanks a lot for sharing them with us!

Celebration of light

Together with half a million other people we yesterday took part in Vancouver's celebration of light
Walking down to English Bay






Active holidays

The whole of yesterday we spent in Stanley Park, including riding around it on rental bikes. Aslak hasn't been very keen on bike riding so far, but this trip changed that, now he wants to go bike riding all the time.

Amazing shapes and colours at Vancouver Aquarium

... where we are happy members!
 (It turned out a membership for a year was the same price 
as one day ticket for a big family, 
and with a 20% discount inside the park, in shops and cafes.)








Neighbour warning!

OJ, see what can happen if you don't cut your tuja!


Dinner with a view


On Friday evening we were invited to dine with the Moen family.
Here are Warren, Brenda, and Melisa.

And here Tori, Balder, Frode, Lavrans and Tellef.


 And Mariela and Aslak played beautiful music.


 The food was fantastic! And the view. too!


Mariela and Melisa won the M&M-competition :-) they must have trained a lot!


Best mojito ever - by Brenda!

Fun at Science World




 We spent five hours in Science world yesterday, 
including film in the huge Omnimax Theatre, 








We are the Champions!

It turns out the final was not played, because the Mexican team they were supposed to meet, had already gone home. Problems with plane tickets, it seems. They probably did not think they would reach the final.

So, Lavrans' team (Lillehammer boys 13 years) is the winner of Dana Cup 2012!
