Another day waking up at 5 am to enjoy the sunrise over Victoria. With 9 hours of time difference the working day in Lund is in full swing so one can spend a couple of hours before breakfast in email exchange. I planned to check out an archive about Tibetan refugee projects at University of British Columbia but found out that the Rare Books section was closed for renovation. First I felt disappointed but then I emailed the librarian and they promised me access anyway (-:
In the morning we went to see the Titanic exhibit at a museum. But the line was already so long so we decided to drop out. After lunch the kids insisted on buying some kind of overpriced "collectable" teddy bears that were stuffed on the spot. Before they closed it you had to put a wish into it too. Alice chose a Cowboy outfit for hers and Esbjörn a Spiderman outfit. We trotted on to the small China town and then over to Victoria Bug Zoo. A large room only but very authentic. When the woman put our entrance fee in the cash register I noticed a weird bug climbing into it without her knowledge. I didn't say anything. Inside two very knowledgable guys were telling people of the bugs. There was everything from ants to spiders, scorpions and centipeds (that could be tried on as fake eyebrows) as well as a furnished cockroach display. In the evening the kids went swimming in the hotel pool, and finally I found a decent Canadian stout.
