What Would You Do On Foot in Victoria BC?

[Jenny A]

I used to live in Seattle and currently am in B.C. Pretty sure you can get out to Mt. Rainier and Snoqualmie falls via bus. What sort of stuff are you into?

Mt. Rainier we've done recently. We're just 40 minutes south of Portland and we do a fair amount of hiking in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, but this is a city trip.

I'm into art and food and he tags along. We're both into science and history. He likes flight and space particularly, I don't mind going along. We like bazaar type shopping in a limited way, but neither of us shop for entertainment much. We aren't much for night life either one of us.

Is Victoria's China Town still worth a visit? I haven't been to Victoria in 20 years.

Victoria is awesome. I've traveled through there when on my way to diving trips. Definitely sample the cuisine - much of it is European-inspired and quite excellent. I wish I could remember the name of this most excellent Italian place.

Be nice to the border guards at the ferry terminal. They have no sense of humor.

Boarder guards have their sense of humor surgically removed. It's part of their training--that a complex kind of stupidity.
