SkyWatch Friday

Back to Victoria. We were there for a couple of days and we really lucked out that first day. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. The top photo is of an exhibition called the Undersea Garden. We didn't go on it this time. It looked very interesting though.

We walked up the main street where there were a lot of interesting shops and restaurants.

You can see the dome of the Parliament Building in the following photo.

The first time we came here we were surprised to see they had a Madame Tussaud Wax Museum near the harbor. We didn't go in but it seemed very popular.

This is a statue of Captain James Cook. You can find out about him if you click here.

More photos of the Parliament Building.

A statue of Queen Victoria is on the grounds....

along with this memorial. These last two photos were taken the next day. We got up early to catch the ferry back to the States and it was a bit overcast. We had left the car in line and it was a short walk down to the harbor for one last look around before we left. We had been told to be back at our car by 9.00 a.m., in time for the customs officials to make their rounds before we boarded the ferry. They were very nice customs officials too, very pleasant and polite.

Thank you to the SkyWatch Friday team for bringing this great meme to us each week.
