I wandered up to Chinatown, which is the oldest in Canada. Their sister city gave them a pair of lions. I think Melbourne's sister city also gave them a pair of lions. Maybe there is a factory in China that manufactures lions for every sister city.
Then I went to the Royal BC Museum. Never go to a museum when they open a major exhibit the following day. The museum is absolutely amazing. For the European human exhibit they had what looked like a town street, with double story buildings that actually had an upstairs, a fully working gold sluicing operation complete with waterwheel, and most of a ship, that you could go into.
Their First Nations exhibit was really good too. I kept on going around in circles and it was very difficult to find the exits (I think I found one that isn't surposed to be an exit).
Then I visited the gorge in a pickle boat.
I saw a statue of Captain Cook that could have been a duplicate of the one in Anchorage. I still don't think it looks like him.
And there are two miscellaneous photos.
