After checking the details on the cruise we realised that we could not just spend the whole cruise slumming it in jeans and T-shirts, so today we did some bargain hunting. Fortunately we found a bargain shop which provided some smart shoes and a cocktail dress, we also discovered where our ferry terminal actually is and got our train tickets to take us from Vancouver to Portland, Oregon - which will be the start of our West Coast road trip after the cruise.
After browsing the shops and riding the SkyTrain we decided to check out the much-touted GasTown - a renovated district of Vancouver that is meant to be almost as good as Granville Island. This turned out to be a big disappointment, very touristy, full of people trying to beg or harrass you into giving them money. We didn't bother with a single photograph!
Did find a Best Buy - which is a supermarket just full of electrical goodies. Everything is much cheaper than the UK and we (Lee actually) were very tempted by just about everything.
