Look Out! A Mummy!

A very cold breeze up the Gorge. This was two weeks ago Wednesday, our walking day in Victoria.
A1-Chunlin Selkirk Trestle
Before too long, we stopped and bought a scarf for Chunlin.

In Chinatown, there's a narrow public street called Fan Tan Alley.
C5-Fan Tan Alley Chunlin
Yeah, it's narrow.

Here's their gate:

Down by the Inner Harbour sits the Empress Hotel.

And over at the wax museum, they have all of King Henry VII's wives. The old man is in the back. Kinda strange to have them all in one place, don't you think?
E2-Henry VIII and Wives

Look out! It's a mummy!

Why does the frog have to be the low man on the totem pole? He doesn't look very happy about it, that's for sure.

Across the street from the Legislature Building is a bell tower from the Netherlands. It rings. I heard it.
E15-Carillon

And up on the hill, a castle built by a man named Dunsmuir, many years ago. He was rich, you see.

After that, we walked back to the hotel. It didn't seem so far on the way out. We got back well after dark.

Want more photos?
