Huge crowds on the streets, 4 to 6 hour line-up's for the "Zip-Line" and spring-like weather (15°C) were awaiting us in Vanocuver. Not that we had time to stand in line with the hundreds of people for a 30 second ride on the "Zip-Line" over Robson Square. We did our daily fitness program by walking the streets and bridges and rewarded us with a Raclette at the House of Switzerland on Granville Island, where the Swiss celebrated their medals with Rivella and Nusstorte. Unfortunately both these items were sold out at the time of our visit. What a bummer! The visit of Mike Schmid, who won a Gold medal for Switzerland the same day, compensated a little for the lack of Swiss products, but only a little. Like responsible citizens, we parked our vehicle in Burnaby (thanks Metrotown for the free parking!) and took the 16min Skytrain ride to downtown. You step out of the station and you are in the middle of the happening. Just awesome!
