Vancouver Island Tue Oct 11

Bus to Victoria today.

10 minute walk to the bus stop from the marina; hour-plus bus ride to downtown Victoria..

In the center is the harbor, surrounded by government buildings and the Empress Hotel. Adjacent is the old section, including what was Chinatown..

The guy in the lemon is playing the accordion.

Dumplings and coffee in the old section..

The fortune says 'you find beauty in simple things'.

Up a hill there's an affluent section..

Walked back to get the bus. Election coming up, there're placards everywhere. Secondary business district with some character. Street with bike lanes..
