Day trip to Canada

From our base in Port Angeles we took the ferry across the straight to Victoria, the capitol of British Columbia, Canada for the day.


Arriving in Victoria;



 Note the water taxi (left) and the row of float planes;


J with the 'Knowledge' Totem;


Outside the Parliament building (reminds me of the Natural History Museum in London);


Looking back to America, from Beacon Hill Park, and the snow capped Olympic mountain range;



Chinatown;



Some very narrow shopping streets in Chinatown;


Not all was good in Victoria - Jakki was attacked by a Canadian Bear.  Rather than helping her I decided it was safer to stand back and take pictures;


The return ferry gave us another great view of Mount Baker still more than 100 miles away.
