WEEK THIRTEEN - VICTORIA, BC, CANADA

My Thirteenth trip, Three days in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

After a fun Ferry ride we had to go thru customs in Sidney, British Columbia before driving down to Victoria.

 

One of the most beautiful areas to visit is Butchart Gardens. The flowers, the colors, the fragrances, were fantastic.

 

I say, this poor chap, you would think he'd get cold standing out here, at least there's plenty of sunlight for him.

This reflection pool down in the sunken gardens was quite beautiful, but I couldn't tell which was the reflection and which was the real scenery.

 

Victoria's Parliment building, around the corner from the Empress Hotel. Just before night fall you can see how they really light it up.

The Empress Hotel, where we were able to enjoy High Tea. Scrumteous finger sandwiches and buttered scones.

All right, check it out. We got to learn a lot about the area's Pacific Northwest art work, some of which were dislplayed here at Thunderbird Park.

This is were the master carvers work to create many of the Totem poles in and around the area.
