Victoria BC, Canada, 20 July 2013

Dinner was supposed to be at 5.00 but there was a mix-up with the dining room. Because we all wanted to go ashore, we went up to the Lido and were able to get a reasonable meal and a table for six. We had our last meal as a group and said our goodbyes, then went in our different directions.

The ship was docked and cleared about 5.15, so straight after our meal we caught a cab into town to the Empress Hotel. Victoria is very pretty, with lots of flowers everywhere. We went into the Empress and had a look at the Tea Room and the shop. Having had a big meal, we weren’t really needing to have “Afternoon Tea”, so we didn’t even bother to find out what the price was. Graham wasn’t really in a good place for wandering around, so after about 30 minutes, we found a taxi to take us back to the ship.

That’s where we are now, having a cuppa; we’ll shortly get our packing finished and have an early night. Then the final morning of getting ready and waiting to disembark.
