Claimed by many to be as English as England, but situated on Canada"s wild Pacific Coast, British Columbia is a new frontier, left to mould itself in its chosen image. Part of the "Inside Pocket Guides" series, this guide introduces this region in a series of personally selected routes. Vancouver, a city isolated from the rest of Canada, has grown up proud and individual. Victoria, the beautiful city on an island, is where afternoon tea is both a ritual and a right. Surrounding each are endless vistas ofscenery. The do-it-yourself itineraries include all-day tours, half-day tours and short excursions. Hotels, restaurants and shops and supplies are also provided, with practical information on how to get there, when to go, what clothes to take, what visas to obtain and what to do in an emergency.
