Vancouver Trip
Catching a morning ferry at 6 in the morning really wasn't fun! And having only 8 minutes to get out of bed and be ready to leave, because your alarm clock doesn't go on, makes the start of the day a bit stressful. Every single person from our group was sleepy so the first hour was a bit calm but when the light came finally out, we came alive also. And from that moment I knew this trip is going to be unforgettable! Beautiful and breathtaking views were worth the 20 minutes in cold and wind. 
The weather wasn't very wishful and it was dark and rainy the whole time, but that wouldn't stop the positive southern American to sing and laugh 99% of the time. Their contagious mood is just perfect! They are so outgoing and you definitely enjoy time with them! We got a small tour of the Vancouver city and stopped by in the Stanley Park to take some pictures! The sun shining through the clouds above the city made the panorama pictures. 
After the tour we left our stuff in the hotel and got around 6 hours of free time! We wouldn't be consider women if we didn't do some shopping during sale time! The city was full of Christmas spirit. Lights everywhere. Simple beauty.
After exploring the city, shopping, eating and enjoying Christmas atmosphere we went to a hockey game. Almost 115 days without hockey was for me pretty hard, so I was excited as never! We got to see the Vancouver Giants play against the Kootenay Ice. Giants won 4:0 and even a Slovak player in Giants colours scored! That made my game even more rememberable. I just love hockey :)
Saturday meant late wake up and getting coffee in Starbucks. We found out that thanks to the windy weather we had to leave the beautiful city sooner because our ferry got cancelled so we had to catch a different one. Before tho we went to metro town one of the biggest shoppings in Vancouver and I never felt so confused and lost in my whole life! We got our lunch there and went to the ferry terminal. Our ferry to Victoria was late 20 minutes and even tough it was a 8 floor ferry it wasn't quite stable. Since the ferry was running late we almost missed out ferry from Victoria to Salt Spring. We were the first ones to get out of the ferry before anyone else, and had 2 minutes to change ferries. 40 kids and 4 chaperones ran from one ferry to the other. People from BC Ferries definitely had a good laugh! Finally on the right ferry to Salt Spring we danced, singed and laughed.
This trip went perfectly and it will definitely be one of the best memories! I am thankful for my international family! Big things are coming... Next weekend again!
