We're going by train as far as Seattle and then ferrying it to Victoria. We'll have just a couple days in each city. We won't rent a car either place. This is strictly a mass transit and foot powered expedition.
Anyone have any cool suggestions for things to do beyond the obvious Pikes Place Market, Art Museums, Space Needle, Aquariums, Butchart Gardens, and High Tea at the Empress Hotel?
We really enjoyed an anthropology museum in Vancouver. It has been more than 25 years so my memory is hazy.
If you had a car and 2 or 3 extra days I'd recommend Hot Springs Cove, but you'd have to drive to the Northwest side of Vancouver island to the end of the road at Tofino. Then get on a native american 'ferry' (motorboat is more than generous as a description) and go an hour further north until you come to this Provincial park. Divine for a natural hot springs which flow over a nine foot falls before weaving its way through pools which become tide pool right in the ocean.
