A diorama showing (in life size), a wooly mammoth and its environment.
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 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.

A bottle of Ribena syrup, made in Malaysia, seen here against a purple light and wood-grain background.
A can of Aha carbonated fruit flavoured beverage (Lime / Watermelon flavour) on the left, with a bottle of Marble Pop soda (Blueberry flavour — and wow is it blue!) on the right. The background is the same as in the shot of Ribena.
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 […]

Two rolls of sushi: vegetable roll and California roll (which was invented in Vancouver, not California), plus some iced tea and a book.

Image of the inside of Munro’s Books, on Government Street in Victoria. The ceiling is high, the shelves are crammed, and the number of stories in this building is enormous.
Also, if you don’t at least go into Munro’s, HOW DO YOU CALL YOURSELF HUMAN‽‽

Image of a street level shop with dark red awnings, gold lettering on the windows, and display area crammed with delicious chocolate.
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.

Screenshot of Organic Maps application showing distance from Hotel Zed in Victoria to the ‘downtown’ area.
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…

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 […]

A hotel room which is so effectively ‘80s themed, one expects Don Johnson to step out of the bathroom.
A hotel room which is so effectively ‘80s themed, one expects Madonna to step out of the shower and suggest a tryst.
A hotel room which is so effectively ‘80s themed, one expects Holly Johnson to come in to fix the non-rotating mirror ball.
So much teal… so much pastel pink… so many random geometric shapes…

Assembled paraphernalia provided by the hotel. From top left, a selfie stick (mine), the little card wallet the keys come in a little card telling me who cleaned my room, two room keys which are designed to look like a little rangefinder camera from the ’60s, a puzzle cube (Rubik’s style), a “Mace Windu” comic book, and a pad of paper with a pen.
Close-up of two room keys which are designed to look like a little rangefinder camera from the ’60s, which also claim they are the ‘Zed-o-Matic 3000’ model.
_You have arrived at your destination._
