You will enjoy comparing what you will see and what you will see when you arrive. Enjoy life as it was... 'In the good old days'. Note the Canadian Pacific ferry - the "Princess" fleet boat entering Victoria Harbour as well as the RCMP Police Musical Ride....note the colour of the mounts... today they are black.
