The best view of the Olympics is from Victoria. Spectacular. I also like it that Victoria gets only 23 inches of rain per year (same as London) being in the Olympics rain shadow. Enough to be green and have nice trees, but also has plenty of sun. Vancouver's 60 inches is a bit much. If you like rain and gloomy rain forests, you can drive about 50 miles west from Victoria along the coast and be in areas that get over 100 inches, for example, Port Renfrew, 138 inches. If I lived in Canada, it would be in Victoria.
