Bear #2
The brave bear

Today we had a few surprises. After packing up the car we did some last minute shopping and sight seeing in Whistler and then headed out of town. We had some time to kill before the scheduled bungee jump and so headed up toward the Olympic Park to check it out, only to find it closed. However on our way back down we ran into two bears and watched them for some time. We had been on the look out for bears ever since we arrived and were glad to find some before we left.
We headed over to the bungee jumping, but as the morning had progressed, so had Tiff's sickness. So after much debate it was decided that bungee jumping was not going to be the best event for her that day. We did however stay and watch several others jump and checked out the area which was again gorgeous.

On our way down to Vancouver we stopped at several view points and took in the views. Kim and I hiked up to Shannon Falls, an amazing waterfall. We finally arrived in Vancouver, found our hotel and chilled out, giving Tiff some time to really rest.

Saturday we will spend the day checking out Vancouver - Stanley Park in particular and taking it easy before we head out to San Juan Island.
