Victoria, BC

Tomorrow we will head home, but today we rest in Victoria.   Near our hotel is the Royal British Columbia museum.   We enjoy visiting the museum every time we come to Victoria.   Along with their permanent exhibits of natural history, they have had wonderful visiting exhibits such as the works of Leonardo De Vinci.   This season was no exception.   We were excited to see artifacts recovered from the Titanic.   In addition to the artifacts there was a special movie about the Titanic presented at the IMAX theatre.  

After purchasing our tickets we had a couple of hours to kill so we walked around Victoria.   We found ourselves in Chinatown and so that meant we had to have lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant and bakery.   We spent the rest of the day enjoying the museum and parliment building.   Unfortunately, they would not let us photograph the Titanic exhibit.  

We finished the day at our favorite German restaurant in Victoria.   Have you noticed how much time we spend eating???   This is not just because we're hedonistic...   It takes a lot of work to ride these bikes long distances through cold wet weather.   That's our story and we're sticking to it.
