Up before the annoying alarm
Breakfast is an Italian Frittata, croissant and fruit plate.
Outdoors the waters are calm and sunshine envelops this strait between Vancouver Island and Washington. Walk 4 laps before settling onto deck chairs Aft Deck on nine. Soak up sea and air.
Photographs and reading
My Corrie ten Boom book, The Hiding Place.
We each have a salad at the Lido Buffet prior to docking. We want to be fed when we walk into town. Be Prepared! We have in mind a pub for fish and chips and a pint:)
Also a memento; Dan's might be a tartan bow tie
We arrive in Victoria at 1:00. Off we trek on foot!
Up Government St. Down Douglas snd Gordon, over Broad and a lap around the Hudson's Bay Co. Store where the bow ties were either $30. Or $50!
We went into the Garrick Head Pub for fish, chips and a pub. Lucie was our waiter. We looked for the tartan store and it was gone. We crossed the Irish store and bought a bar of grapefruit and mossy soap for Lynn. At Murchies we bought cocktail napkins and cinnamon.
Then we hiked through the Empress and Totem Park to Dallas St. Admiring every yard and home in the James Bay neighborhood. Just a little lost and logging six miles on foot.
Dinner was a lemon drop and we extracted our swollen feet from tennis shoes.
Brooklyn was showing at 7:00 and we loved it. Then we stepped out on the deck for a final farewell. The sky rivaled Sorrento Italy in beauty!
Only nine, but a hot shower and a bed await. Fun day:) with Dan
