![]() Victoria, BC: lovely as ever by Dianne Kochenburg |
In June (2012) I spent a few days in Victoria with my pal Marjorie. We had talked about making this trip for years but one thing leads to another and I thought we would never get around to it. So we both just dropped everything and took off. There is now a direct flight from SFO to the little airport in Victoria. I liked that even though Marjorie wasn't too sure about flying in a plane with only 50 seats. Nothing to it in good weather. Notice that the Empress is as imposing as ever from the harbour. We trotted down to the wharf for a quick look at the local arts and crafts faire. I spotted the most adorable little tug boats and just had to take a ride on one. They use them for short excursions and as water taxis. Great fun. |

I've spent lots of time in Victoria and thought I would remember how to drive from here to there without any problems. It's funny how one's memory isn't quite as good as you think it is. I kept telling Marjorie, it's an island, how lost can we get? But eventually it all came back to me and I did manage to find everything. We crammed in as might sights as possible into the short few days we were there. |
