We stayed in Gastown in Vancouver, nice area but I've never seen so many homeless people!! There's thousands all asking for spare change, one guy tried to sell us some food for money!? We took a bus tour around the city on the first day and also went to the BC Marijuana party's headquarter (which is also a shop). We bought some T-shirts supporting Mark Emery's no extradtion campaign and Max bought a vapourizer, which we tried out before buying - we were stoned for the rest of the day. Next door was a coffee shop that looked like it should be in Amsterdam, as everyone was smoking pot. On the friday we went on a Whale watching trip, off the coast of Vancouver. It took about 2 hours to find a pod of Killer whales, but it was worth it. The Orca's were beautiful and we even got to see a couple of them breach the water.
