Victoria, Eh?

July 7 - Victoria

We slept in this morning until 8:00, very late for us, as we were in no hurry to get to Victoria BC, a city we had visited many times before.  The sun was shining brightly, although we had a stiff breeze from the south across the Outer Harbor, causing us to wear our jackets for our trek to town.

Most ports have shuttles that carry passengers from the port areas to the city center. We decided not to pay for the shuttle as we knew that the walk to the city center was lovely along the waterfront and it would be a good opportunity to get some exercise. It only took about ½ hour and as we got into the center the sun was very warming.

We walked in the city for about 2 hours and bought a few things. Victoria was bursting with flowers and the colors were vibrant in the sunshine. This is always a lovely city and we enjoyed our walk downtown and then back to the ship for a late lunch.

The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing and reading and enjoying the quiet of the ship as most of the guests were gone on shore excursions. In the evening we attended the final show and then packed our suitcases for tomorrow’s disembarkation in our own city of Seattle. We have no other cruise jobs scheduled for the near future. We will just wait to see what becomes available for our next cruising adventure.
