Our Victoria Island, CanadaTrip - 6/09

This is the House of Parliament on Victoria Island, B.C. It's one of the main attraction for tourists.


This is the British Columbia embelm of honour.

Beautiful stained glass windows inside the House.


The well-known Empress Hotel where anyone who's anybody stays. We didn't! haha But we did walk through it and "everything" was ridiculously expensive.

Dad walking around the front of the Hotel "just looking". Very Impressive! Look at the trees. The trunk grows up but the branches grow down...very strange looking.


This is the cruise liner we traveled on to get to Victoria Island from Seattle, WA. It took us 3 1/2 hours.

The view from the dock when we landed on the Island. It was not at all what I expected. Victoria Island was a "city". In fact, it is the capital city of British Columbia.



I thought this was very English looking...the horse-drawn carriage moving slowly in front of the House of Parliment.

The Empress Hotel from the docks. Over a hundred years old. Look at the ivy growing over the front of the Hotel.
