Awesome day in Vancouver with my girls :)

Hi guys!! :)

As I already told you, malin, Judy and I went to Vancouver today ON OUT OWN!!! :D I am just so proud of us cause we did it perfectly, we drove through the city with the sky train and with the bus and of course walked A LOT! ;) 

We left at about 6.45, and because we have had a sleepover before we were really tired! But the excitement grew as we got on the ferry in nanaimo. At about 10 o clock, we were in west Vancouver and took a bus to downtown and ten to Granville island immidiately! 

Granville island is a small art district where a lot of fabrics and stores are. It was so pretty there!!!

 

We went Ito a big hall, where you could buy food from all over the world! It was just like the "markthalle" in Hannover ;) 

Sooooo and guess what happened then!? Well, first I gotta tell you tht my moms cousin jürgen lives in Vancouver and works there as a gold and silver smith. She visited him 20 years ago but I've never met him before! So I googled  a couple of weeks ago and found out that he has a small store on Granville island. I just HAD to get to know him! 

So we did it! We found the store and went in, and he looks just like my grandfather so I recognized him immidiately! And after I told him who I was, he said that I look exactly like my mom! 

Yeeeah he was so happy to see me, we changed addresses and numbers and he gave all of us an old Canadian coin for a neglace, we will use it as a lucky charm aaaand a friendship thing!! :) 

from the ferry

 

He was so nice and funny cause he had the best German accent, he mixes English and German that was so hilarious :) anyways, he invited me to visit him again! 

Afterwards, we went back to downtown and tool the skytrain to Stanley park, which is the most famous sight here! It is such a pretty park and we took AMAZING PICTURES!!!! As soon as my laptop comes back I will upload them, it's worth to look at them!!! 

We had some lovely views at the skylineand the ocean, we've been to the beach, had a shooting near the harbor and so on!!! :) it was just awesome!! This city is really one of the neatest places I've ever been and I've already seen a lot from te world!

Family tubing day :)

Heeey you! :)

We had a really fun day up the mountain today! It was a surprise, Lori came up to my room in the morning and said that we will go tubing, so we left right away and went up mount Washington. It was a beeeautiful day up there, the sun was shining and yeah... It was freezing cold though :)

So we Spend like 4 hours tubing, had a hot chocolate and we even handed my laptop on on out way back so they will fix it :) finally!

Yeah and did I already tell you about Vancouver? That Lori wanted to take us for 2 days? Well unfortunately, kierra has dance the next days so we can't go! First I was really sad although she promised to take us some weekend in February! But then, she said that she's going to Victoria on Friday, so she could give me and my friends a ride to the ferry!! And sooooo we are going to Vancouver on Friday :) I'm really happy about that!

See you guys! Xoxo maddy

We ( Judy, Kristina, celina, I) Spend Our New years At Malin's house. First, we watched "snogging", then we cooked pasta( deliiiicious but easy ), watched another movie (rat race), did "gummibärchen orakel", watched the Vancouver countdown , made cocktails, celebrated at midnight, did a chocolate fondue, walked through the neighborhood, watched ANOTHER movie and then finally, at 8 o'clock, went to bed :)

 

 

 

 

That was our night in fast forward ;))

Well, my laptop is still broken so as soon as it gets fixed I'll put up some pictures, aaand the Christmas pictures as well, be patient I'm sorry ;)

Yeeeah we all had a nice new years although it was pretty weird that it was new year in Germany 9 hours before ours :)) and in canada, fire works are illegal, so it was our first new years WITHOUT noises and colors :/ that was actually sooo weird and we missed it a lot!!

But we were lucky to get to spend our new years in a different country on our own :)) I mean that is so cool :D

Soo pictures will show up soon, promise :)
