If you click this picture, you'll open Street View from Google Maps. As in this static image, you will see the The Fairmont Empress hotel and the inner harbor when it opens. After, you might want to take a look at the British Columbia Parliament Building by rotating to the right. (You may have to move several steps ahead as it will be hiding behind a tree.)
I thought I loved going over to the Victoria. It has been a really long time since our last visit though. I looked online and found it's been a bit over four years! Now I'm resolved to get over there soon for at least a weekend. Perhaps, we'd go more often if BC Ferries were cheaper.
Personally, we hold no grudge against the city for stealing the BC capital from my current town. After all, New Westminster lost that title in 1868. I shall let bygones be bygones.
