Before our trip started and without giving a reason, Princess Cruises changed our ship, took Ketchikan, Alaska off the itinerary and added Victoria, British Columbia. One thing we hadn't done yet is do any whale watching. The excursions through Princess were booked but my wife was able to find an outside company who promised they could get us back to the ship in time. Then we noticed on the TV in our room that we needed to be back an hour earlier than we were originally told. No problem...the tour company said they could still get us back in time. We were scheduled to leave the ship starting at noon but Canadian authorities wouldn't greenlight it until 1 PM (probably because some people hadn't filled out their immigration paperwork.) Our whale watching tour was canceled as there wasn't enough time which was a real frustrating bummer. We still had 3 1/2 hours to kill so we took a nice walk from the dock to Government Street and into the heart of beautiful Victoria. We ended up in Chinatown where I found The Turntable in a narrow alleyway. There wasn't enough time to do any proper browsing but it's always fun to unexpectedly find a record store.
