Today we travel separated. Remko and Hans go
Whale
Watching and Renate goes to the Royal
British Columbia Museum. The men put on their survival suit and Renate
waved them goodbye at 10:30 AM. The museum
was spectacular. It shows the whole history from the ice age until the year
1990. You can see a mammoth at 
full
size. There are also moose, sea lions, bears, birds, deer etc. At 1:30 PM
the men came back full of exciting stories. It was a little bit quiet in the
zodiac because there were only 4 people for the trip. They had seen a group
of orcas and Renate could see it all on the movie Remko had shot. We got a
cup of coffee and made some sandwiches which we ate at our terraced roof...
Next it's time for shopping. Hans bought a souvenir, a small stone statue
of a bear (Bubha). Remko and Renate bought 4 Starbucks mugs, a calendar and
a small ring for Tessa. And again we are going to eat at our favourite Italian
Restaurant. We enjoyed our meals and the delicious whine ( 2 bottles of Lambrusco!).
Remko had to reorganize his suitcase because of the many souvenirs. Tomorrow
we have to breakfast early and we are going to visit the Butchart
Gardens before we go to the ferry to Vancouver
for our final night. But first we took a bath at the penthouse
for the last time and after that we go to sleep...
