Got out and ended up renting one of those cool bikes that 2 people ride with Mary... Rode up to Stanley park and went to check out the Aquarium.
There are some pretty cool animals in there... dolphins, whales, frogs, fish, fishsticks and children.. lots of them.
So we checked that place out for a while, we watched a 4D (YES 4D!!!) movie while we were there... apparently one of the only of it's kind on the west coast. So what made this movie 4D was nothing spectacular like wormholes, time travelling deloreans or stephen hawking.
Basically it was a 2D film + 1 extra D for the 3D effect (had to wear polorized glasses) The crazy extra D came in during the film and wasn't really a dimension, but more of an experience. Every seat had stuff on it to make you feel part of the film...things like
- The chair infront squirting mists of water in your face when things would splash
- Giant fans blowing air in the room to simulate wind
- Rubling chairs to simulate... rumbling... chairs?
- And these little hose things that would fly around by your feet like something was crawling around you...
Oh and at one point all these soap bubbles would fall from the ceiling to feel like underwater.
So as interesting as that was, I was a little dissapointed since I didn't go back to the 80s.
After that whole Aquarium experience we rode the rest of the park... a nice ride.
Later on we had to check out Grandville island, a cool market that is cool and also a market.
Oh and on the way there we found a store that sold nothing but cream puffs, it was insane... we tried some of those.
Now it's back to this hotel that is nothing like Le Chateau Fairmont in Whistler... but something a little better from the motel in Psycho.
Tomorrow = Plane ride home!
