• Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia, is at the southeastern tip of the large 300 mile long Vancouver Island. The usual way to get there is via ferry from Seattle or Vancouver city.
• The oldest Chinatown in Canada is here and so is the smallest street: Fan Tan Alley in Chinatown.
• Enjoy the quaint Fisherman's Wharf with fresh seafood and waterside dining in the rough.
• The Inner Harbor's Fairmont Empress Hotel is where one could enjoy The Afternoon Tea, a wonderful English ritual. This should get rid of "that sinking feeling" that comes around the midafternoon.
