It really helps. I'm especially glad to find out that there are lots of buses to the Butchart Gardens. We wondered if we would have to rent a car for that. Do you know if the Saturday night firework displays there are worth attending?<br /> Now to decide what to pack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-and-victoria#post-87177 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:07:45 +0000 Anonymous 87177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked seeing the Parliment building in Victoria. You cannot miss it, it is huge and right in the middle of things. The architecture is so beautiful.<br /> Really everything about Victoria is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-and-victoria#post-87136 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:37:57 +0000 Sihaya 87136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice Joy. Some of my favorite cities. Some of this will depend on what you like to do. In Vancouver, excellent shopping downtown, especially Robson street. Fantastic restaurants, some lesser known ones such as ShaLin noodles on Broadway = one of the few places in north america where they hand make their noodles fresh as you order! China town is wonderful. The steam clock in gas town is interesting and is close to *the* John Fleuvog shoe shop where he works. Stanley park is gorgeous and a great place for bike rides and walks. And their aquarium is stellar, they just had new baby belugas. The best Indian food (it's more fusion than pure Indian) that I've ever had is at Vancouver at a place called Vij's. The wait times can be as long as 90 minutes to bring along pleasant company or a book The good news is that the continuously serve you free appetizers while you wait. Or get there at 5pm when they open so you can get the first seating. </p> <p>Victoria - you don't need a car. The down town area is really walkable. Lots of wonderful galleries, fun china town, etc. The Butchart Gardens are a must. There are a lot of buses that go there so you can choose one. I didn't like the butterfly gardens as much. If you enjoy this sort of thing, the high tea at the Empress is pricey but a memorable experience. </p> <p>I hope you have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-and-victoria#post-87110 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:33:05 +0000 Anonymous 87110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH &#38;I are planning a mini vacation and stying in Vancouver and Victoria. Any suggestions as to what to see and do, where to eat, etc.; as well as what to avoid as tourist traps? I got through some of the old posts on Vancouver but so far haven't come across anything on Victoria. DH tries to be patient with my shopping but I doubt we'll do much of that this time. Neither of us have been to BC. </p>
