Day 1 - Victoria (May 31)

We accomplished quite a lot today...off the ship into a car, out of the car, onto a ferry, off the ferry, into a taxi, out of the taxi, into the hotel...

...and ate lunch.

Then out for a walk. Across the bridge, and followed the footpath all the way to the Westbay Maritime Village. About fifty minutes. Glorious weather. We were wearing our QE hats & were stopped by a fellow walking his dog. Compared his trip on the QM2 with the QE.  Very nice fellow. Great way to spend the afternoon. Then took a “pickle” boat or water taxi back to town.
View across the bay: Hotel; cruise ship; mountains
Float homes at West Bay Marine Village

Booked our return mode of travel for Monday.  Back to the hotel, which even though it has a restaurant is also geared towards self catering. Very large rooms with livingroom and kitchen. 

Out for dinner (not far away), then back to the hotel. I failed to mention that Sarah booked the hotel. Two rooms, separated by two floors! I guess my snoring really IS that bad.

Oh well.
