How was your Weekend?

Who said fall in Vancouver is all rainy? All I can see is the beautiful sun, blue sky and all these sun-loaded energetic people. So this weekend I finally got to see the stunning Stanley Park. This is probably everything but an inside tip, but just go out there, rent a bike and see it yourself. In case are you not the sporty kind of person, there is also the very nice Stanley Park Brewing, which I can recommend just as much ;-).

But the true highlight of the past weekend, was clearly the Haunted House. And I am saying this as a person, that gets scared super easily, but even than – this was an insane Halloween experience to be made! It took us quite a while, to get to the place, where the Halloween magic happens. 

As we were waiting in the queue, a great show was already provided. Dancing mummies, and monsters made the time fly by. And already here I got the first heart attack, as some of the actors, jumped up from behind and wandered through the people, giving us some scary looks and good frights. As plans were made, like who is to leave behind, and at what points we should be smarter than people in all these horror movies, it was finally time to go in. And I promise you, I was screaming my soul out. Since I do not want to spoil this too much, I am keeping the descriptions short. But I can still feel my heart beating as if it is about to jump out any minute. Different rooms with different themes and multiple nightmare celebrities, basically chased us through the halls of the haunted house. After all it was absolutely worth the time effort we had to put in this trip.

After all I feel ready to get into the next Halloween adventure. The upcoming Halloween party, might not be as frightening as the Haunted House, but this is finally the chance for everybody to dress up themselves. And you never know, who might be hiding around the next corner of the Blarney Stone on Thursday! 

See you there. 

Cheers,

WHAT TO DO ON THE WEEKEND?

Blue Sky, bright sun – what a beautiful weekend ahead of us. So this is giving you the perfect opportunity to explore beautiful Vancouver in Fall. And I reckon you do this, as long as the weather is still on your side with that. Well, I don’t want to spoil but … Winter is coming guys. 

So afterwards you’ll be sitting at home, all happy about the vitamin D you to soak in. But how to finish a peaceful day like that and eventually bring in some action? Well, luckily we’ve got you sorted! 

Just picture us, together, slowly walking through the tight floors in total darkness, trying to make our way through. You can actually feel the adrenaline sticking in the air, giggles appear from time to time, your hands crawled up into the arm of the person in front of you, trying not to loose them. All the way through  you can’t get that big smile of your face, because you know they are waiting for you. The ghosts of Potter’s House of Horror are ready to get you, you just don’t know when and what’s happening next.You slowly turn around the next corner and …
BUH – got ya!  

Just make sure you’ll get your tickets asap (Link below), so you won’t have to wait outside and listen to the insane and/or funny stories everyone will be telling you afterwards! 

If you need further information on the event this Saturday, take a look on our Facebook page. 

Can’t wait to see you there. 

Cheers,
