No, relax, it’s a mammoth.

There is no light brighter than that which you turn on at 2am to adjust the heat in your hotel room.
There is no object harder than that into which you collide at 2am after turning off the light in your hotel room.

My goodness, my feet ache. As do my calves. Yowza. This is quite unusual.
Granted, I did cover 7½ kms on foot today.

Partial success in my quest to try #Vimto! Thanks to discovering H Mart in Mayfair Mall (seems much like T&T Supermarket), I have got some #Ribena made in Malaysia. No sign of the Holy Grail, however.
Meanwhile, in same aisle, Aha carbonated fruity water, in Lime/Watermelon flavour!
Also, what has to be the most inherently dangerous beverage in the world, Marble Pop. You unwrap the plastic around the mouth, then you push down on the top and a marble fires itself into the narrow collar of the neck as the air pressure is released. Apparently it’s a “Codd-neck bottle,” and is designed to hold the marble against a rubber washer to seal the drink inside. You break the seal, so the marble drops and also gets out of the way as the drink comes out. I still find the sound and vibration terrifying.

Also, if you don’t at least go into Munro’s, HOW DO YOU CALL YOURSELF HUMAN‽‽

If you go to Victoria and do not go to Rogers’ Chocolates and buy something, I have no idea how you can live with yourself.

EARLIER: I’ll walk into downtown after breakfast. That way, before I start exploring, I’ll get an idea of the lay of the land and a feel for the city before I get distracted by historical stuff. It doesn’t look looks it’s that far…
…
Uh…
…
Erm…
…
Oh.

Still think that Host #Cats should be A Thing®.
You arrive at a hotel, the front desk asks you the usual questions and gives you the usual information, then they ask ‘would you like a cat to make you feel at home?’ Then you say ‘yes,’ and they ask what sort of cat — young/old, playful/sedate, large and fluffy/shorthaired and sleek — then they arrange for the cat to be delivered to your room after it’s done its business and been given their crunchies and so on, at which point you introduce yourself to the cat, and watch TV or read or go straight to bed so the cat can lie against you and purr and you have an excellent sleep. In the morning, you open the door, the cat goes back to the main room they live in somewhere in the facility, and either you get the same cat the next night or a different one depending.
Sure, this hotel is cool with you bringing your pet to stay with you, but what if you have no cat of your own? See? Missing a trick here, people!

So much teal… so much pastel pink… so many random geometric shapes…

So… a range of channels of 200 options (not all slots filled) and nothing that moves me.
So… I’m watching the CBC National News an hour early, and so may bail after 10 minutes when I’m fed up.
To think that if I was less than half my age I would be in a pub or club drinking my face off and dancing my ass off. Now I’m just off.

When did local news out of Seattle start being shown at 8:00pm‽ #KOMO is what I’m looking at. Weird.

Okay! Mall is closed!
Heading to Red Robin now, because I’m in my early 20s again, apparently.

You have arrived at your destination.
“TRAVELLIN’ GUY” ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!
Checked in, unpacked, organized, been given coffee for the French press and cream for tomorrow morning… so now I can start breathing, figuring out where tomorrow will take me… and some dinner, probably across the street at the mall, if it’s open (because I’m boring).

FUN FACT: after finishing my sushi, I ate the ginger. Now that I’m sipping my latté, it’s a whole new experience! My tongue is all tingly and warm as the two things combine! Cool!!

Obligatory “waiting for next stage in transport” picture.

Hooray! On a bus with two levels!! Love these! Not a Routmaster, but far more comfortable as a result. Less likely for the body to separate from the bottom deck, as well. #Winning
But, DAMN! is it bouncy!

…aaaaand we start with an error! I’m at Brughouse, but I should have got off earlier at Bridgeport!
This is going well.

In less than eight hours, I will be on an island. The city’s motto is SEMPER LIBER, or Latin for “forever free,” which seems fitting as I am on holiday.
Who knows what sort of merry japes I may get up to! Given its Britishness, the city may provide access to the allegéd delights of #BigVimto! Anything is possible!
