Advantages: Lots to see and do - Fascinating story
Disadvantages: might be seen as pricy

...If you want to get a feel of what life was like for some of those early pioneers (or entrepreneurs if you want to call them that) then you need to take a trip to the Capilano suspension bridge - I do have to say that I feel it is somewhat over priced (after all the scenery is free - and all around you) but I guess you are paying for all the research and the money - some of it does go back into local native projects and it is a good day out especially if you have Kids. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day here just being tourists.

The mystery is quite why Mr Vicks should want to see such crossing built... Read review

...Calpol 6 plus There are many different types of calpol now, from the baby calpol, Six plus to calpol teething gel. Calpol plus can be taken by children aged six and over. What it does Calpol suspensions, suspension sachets and fastmelts all contain the active ingredient paracetamol, which is a simple painkilling medicine used to relieve mild to moderate pain and fever. It is thought paracetamol reduces fever by affecting an area of the brain that regulates our body temperature. Paracetamol is about as effective as aspirin at relieving mild to moderate pain but is a lot nicer. Paracetamol can be used to relieve mild to moderate pain associated with conditions such as headaches, toothache, teething, colds and flu. It is also useful for reducing fever and discomfort associated with colds and flu and following vaccinations...
