We load up at dawn tomorrow and mosey out of town and probably not a day too soon. Our area of Vancouver is not the most celubrious. A couple of nights ago we could not get back to the hostel because there had been a weapon dischage. Yesterday afternoon the door was blocked by a colapsed drunk. There is a big rough sleeping culture, at supper 2 nights ago the table next to us on the patio were accosted by a hobo with a yellow stained beared and v bad teeth - the skinhead type with a red mohecan at another table lept the rails and had a right go at him and their verbal argument could be heard as they went down the street.
However we were shown round Victoria by Jim & Marlene - what a fabulous place to live. Last night we were royally entertained by some friends of Micheal in North Vancouver - lovely place so different from the City - salmon, beautiful pink lamb, organic chicken and vegs to die for washed down with a glass or 3 of vin rouge! !
We have cycled all over Vancouver in the rain and it is time to go. We head for the border and tomorrow night we should be sleeping in the USA. Jim & Marlene are heading down the islands by ferry and meet us in 3 days time on San Juan Islands near Seatle. The forcast e is OK maybe some showers.
