We hopped aboard the Black Ball Ferry to Victoria and I took my place at the bow of the boat...I get very motion sick, and this is open ocean water!! This is not like a ferry to Seattle and even on that ferry I have to look forward on the bow, and cannot ride at night! So sick! The way there was fun and smooth. I even snagged a Coho Ferry hoodie before we started moving! We arrived as very obvious NEW tourists and we did not disappoint in doing ALL the tourist things to do! We walked, and then walked some more, and then discovered the hop on/off bus near the end of our visit! My suggestion...get on that bus first! It takes you to all the places and you get to hop on and off all throughout the day, fyi!
Victoria Canada was absolutely beautiful. It is such a fabulous city to walk around and soak up all the city life with a very England/Ireland feel. There is amazing architecture in every direction you look. The diversity in food, culture, people, and things to do is so fabulous. We visited the bug zoo, rode around Victoria on a horse carriage, walked through miniature world, ate delicious food...a lot, visited art galleries, the parliament, and so much more. We stayed at a hotel close to town and every time we walked to and from town we passed a Hallmark movie set. It was so fun to be spectators. Those images and that story is for another blog!!
Enjoy a peak into our vaca!
