There are a lot of totem poles in Victoria, here are some of them.

Victoria, Day 6

Today I met up with a friend and she took me sightseeing to some areas I would never have gotten to on my own. We saw the Lieutenant Governor's residence and two castles, Craigdarroch Castle and Hatley Castle, as well as other areas.

Victoria, Day 5

Today was the coldest day we've had so far, about 8 Celsius with high winds and showers. But I did see a rainbow, which made up for the rain.

Victoria, Day 4

Another overcast day with a bit of clearing, which was good considering the forecast was for rain. We walked across the harbour this afternoon, there are some impressive hotels and condo buildings over there. The 2nd photo shows a view of downtown Victoria from the other side of the harbour and the 3rd photo is the cute little harbour ferry which is like a taxi. You can see several zipping across the harbour throughout the day.

Victoria, Day 3

It was overcast and cool today. We walked through Beacon Hill Park, a very pretty park and there were even flowers and trees blooming. The park goes to the coast and we saw the Mile 0 marker.....interesting to us as there is also a Mile 0 in St. John's.

Victoria, Day 2

We had a beautiful sunny day for sightseeing. We walked along the inner harbour and through the downtown streets. Here are photos of a totem pole in Thunderbird Park, houseboats, sailboats, a school in Chinatown and the Empress Hotel in the evening sun.

We flew to Victoria today, what a long flight! Here are a couple of photos of the Parliament Buildings and the Inner Harbour.
