Huuuge Victoria Picture Dump.
Heres the photos from my victoria trip before I go to sleep, just to prove that there *was* more to my vacation than just Kiwis and Kiddie peeing.
This was a little gimmicky aquarium in the Victoria's Inner Harbour. Worth seeing for sure. Their main attraction was a show where a diver brings each animal to the window for us to see while a girl explains the animal's range, history, diet, etc. They have this toothless old Wolf Eel that loves rolling over for belly rubs. He looked like a happy grey dog with no limbs. Screw a Husky, my next pet is going to be a wolf eel!
The hostel was fantastically nice. It was airy, clean, cool, and quiet with nice linen and plenty of shower rooms. I slept better in the 44 man dorm than the 6 man dorm from the night before which was stuffy and stank of beer.
So these were from my adventures in the wax museum. I did glean some scholarly knowledge about the history of the English crowns, but beyond that, it was all about the lulz. Note that all the American presidents are looking off into the distance with expressions randing from curiosity to patriotism, except Clinton. He's looking right at you, with an expression that says he is undressing you with his eyes. His eyes follow you wherever you go.
Also, Cleopatra's boobies, because this LJ has a shocking lack of boobies.
This one is for my dad! I recognised monty, but nobody else. Who is that guy who is grinning like a madman? : D
These ones are a bit blurry, but the dwarves were too funny to not be included. Their expressions were so wild! You can just barely see how terrifyingly drugged out the first one looks, and Grumpy doesn't seem so much grief stricken, but pissed that she dare die before he could get some!
A dive shop decorated with all the unusual finds they have brought up from the bottom. The wall of cell phones was my favorite. It was a history of the changing shape of the cell phone, and does anyone actually carry pagers anymore?
These were taken on a set of wharfs where people had moored their "floathouses", which, as the name implies, are houses that float. The one on the right is for sale. I vote we buy it and start our commune in Victoria Bay! Anyone with me? It comes with a little rowboat!
There were two sea lions, or possibly just hugnormous seals, begging for scraps by the Fisherman's Wharf. People know better than to feed the wildlife, so they weren't getting anything, but they still hung around and tried! They looked like they weighed about 200 pounds, and were each the size of a man. These pictures provide no useful scale at all.
