Victoria Day long weekend @ Vancouver Island 之 Victoria

We were back to Victoria on Victoria Day just to catch the famous Victoria Day Parade. I hadn't seen a real parade in Canada, so I was pretty curious about the event. The parade took place at Douglas St, the main street in downtown Victoria. We arrived at ten sth, almost an hour after it started cos none of us could get up that early. :p We were totally exhausted in the first two days.

My camera was punctually out of memory the day before. Luckily Jingjing's camera still got a lot of space, so I was able to get all those pictures of the parade. A lot of high school bands joined the parade, but sarcastically about 90% of the bands were from Washington State, and even Oregon. And the American school bands all looked much more professional and better-trained than the local bands, which was quite a pity tho...

After the parade, I took some pics in front of the BC Parliament Building and Empress Hotel as usual. The weather was surprisingly sunny with a comfortable temperature. Dont know what the hell happened when we were at Tofino. This time I went into Empress Hotel. It's simly gorgeous! But everything inside is so expensive, not for ppl like me... :p
