Victorious Victoria!

Victorious Victoria!

BC’s Capital city sparkles at night!   It is equally beautiful during the day, but there’s something about the lights at Inner Harbour that gives it a magical feel.   Marilyn and Bob were at this very spot at about 8:45 in the evening.   The weather was perfect they say, and so were their accomodations.   Marilyn and Bob decided to splurge and stayed at the Empress Hotel.

DID YOU KNOW?      More than  100 years ago, there was discussion about whether the Empress Hotel would even be built!!   The president of the CPR at the time was Sir Thomas Shaughnessy.   He didn’t want to build a tourist hotel in Victoria because he felt there would not be enough business.   So, as you prove him wrong and stroll along Inner Harbour you will find:  the BC Legislature, the Royal British Columbia Museum, the Undersea Gardens, the Royal British Columbia Wax Museum AND the Empress Hotel.

SO WHILE YOU ARE ON YOUR NEXT STROLL — TAKE YOUR CAMERA AND BECOME PART OF BT HISTORY.   YOUR PHOTO WILL AIR ON OUR SHOW AT 7:10am, AND APPEAR RIGHT HERE ON THIS VERY BLOG.(Well, not THIS BLOG-you’ll get your OWN page.)
