After a 4-hour trip from Vancouver's airport (including a 90 min ferry ride), we arrived In  Victoria, an island near in British Columbia.  Next morning we went on a whale watching trip.

                          Some of the places we visited in Vancouver: Stanley Park, the Granville Island Brewery,, the Chinese Garden.

                                                      On my birthday we went hiking on Grouse Mountain and got to see black bears that were eating by the fence dividing their huge forest from the hiking path!

                                                                      We went on a day trip to Whistler and took a  zipline tour in the forest.
