Butchart Gardens, Victoria - Eurodam, Alaska Cruise

Victoria, capital of British Columbia, Canada.

Our 4th and the last port of call 

before going back to Seattle to finish our Alaskan cruise.

This is my virgin port but we decided to take a ship's tour

instead of city sightseeing.

I didn't want to miss the opportunity 

to see the beautiful garden here.

Butchart Gardens!

We arrived at 5pm and were given 6 hours here.

I could see the garden both by day and night! ^^

Sunken garden

Totem poles

Japanese garden

 Rose garden

Italian garden

 Sunken garden by night.

Magic!!!

Parliament 

Fairmont Empress hotel

Thanks for the short city tour by our guide/driver 

which wasn't in our planned itinerary.

Dolly's House, once popular brothel in Ketchikan, Alaska

There were 5 other cruise liners docked in Ketchikan.

More than 10,000 passengers and crew 

are visiting this small town today.

Creek Street.

The cutest red light district?

Probably but was once.

Dolly's House was the most popular

brothel in early century

and became a museum nowadays.

Creek Street is conveniently only a stone throw away from the cruise ship.

We saw few salmon leaping up against this small rapid.

Just like a scene from National Geographic TV!

Exciting!

Hmmmm..

Must be a horror movie for animal activists!

Wild smoked salmon free sample time!

Delicious!!!

Very lucky with weather again.

Couldn't leave the town without having a coffee

in this sunny beautiful day in Alaska!
