Victoria is a beautiful city with a beautiful harbor. My pictures seem really weird to me now. Some panoramas, some bizarre details (like yesterday's poppy on the train tracks). Behind the cut is a panorama of the harbor.

A hotel. There was a wedding happening behind it, between the hotel building and the harbor.

I think that's THE "Victoria" Hotel, the actual name of it. I was told it was VERY expensive, and serves High Tea. :-) W didn't bother to go tourist (as in, "go postal") there; we wanted to do mostly non-touristy things to get a feel for the city. When I lived in Manhattan, I never went to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building except when friends from out of state or country came to visit and wanted to.

I spent about a month after our trip trying to convince the fiance we wanted to move to Victoria. He loved it there, but still isn't budging. :-

oooh! i see it's the 'chateau victoria hotel.'

it doesn't seem that excessively pricey, but i'm used to hotel rooms costing a minimum of $175USD.

I stayed there with my parents a bunch of years ago -- it wasn't too expensive at all (at least, in terms of what I'm used to)!

And, agreed, Victoria and Vancouver are stunning.

seems actually kinda cheap for a hotel like that (especially taking the exchange rate into account).
