Victoria is on Vancouver Island - a little to far for just a casual visit. I would have to drive to Vancouver and take the ferry - $55 for Thunderbunny and $17 per person and 90 minutes each way. It is a gorgeous trip and Vancouver Island is definitely worth a couple weeks of exploration. That being said, the Royal British Columbia Museum has something fun on display for the next few months.
From the CBC:
John Lennon's Rolls Royce on display at Royal B.C. Museum
If there ever was an example of a man's car reflecting his colourful personality, this would be it.
John Lennon's famed Rolls Royce adorned in a kaleidescope of colours is back on display at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria.
This was the car the Beatles rode to Buckingham Palace in 1965 to receive medals from the Queen.
Back then it was a demure black, but Lennon decided to jazz it up with custom paintwork in a Romany Gypsy style in 1967.
She's a beaut:
Would love to go with!
