Burchart Gardens and Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park.
This was an interesting day that started with breakfast at the Vancouver Aquarium. The tables were set up in front of the beluga whale tanks. It was fascinating to see these creatures who were so large and white. They enjoyed swimming belly up. I think they were as interested in us as we were in them as they kept swimming up and wanting attention.
After breakfast we were able to see sea otters and many of the other marine animals that can be found in British Columbia.
We then travelled by clipper to Vancouver Island and on to the beautiful Burchart Gardens. These gardens are the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen and include a Japanese, Italian and rose garden. The roses were not yet in bloom, however, the tulips were nothing short of spectacular. This is a garden you need to visit a number of times at different seasons.
We travelled on to Victoria and had an orientation tour of this beautiful city and then arrived at the famed Empress Hotel which is as good as its reputation.
We had dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory, a franchise restaurant. It provided three courses for $15 and was very good value.
