Vancouver ferries are almost like cruise ships, I can definitely tell you the scenery is as good as a cruise ship, they are huge and so it was fun to watch the islands go by and check out something to eat.
BUTCHART GARDENS:
I love going to Butchart Gardens, it is absolutely beautiful.
VICTORIA:
From the beginning of this trip all Val could talk about was wanting to stop at the bakery in Victoria, well when we got there it wasn't open on Monday, so low and behold there was another bakery right next door, so of course we had to buy.
We walked past the harbor up through the Empress, down through the shops and off to dinner we go.
SALTS SPRINGS:
We intentionally decided to stay in the islands for a few days. Gary and I had been married in the San Juan Islands which are connected to the Gulf Islands and so we decided to take the Canadian point of view.
WISTERIA B&B
Shabby chic is what I call it. It is furnished in '60s décor. Not exactly my taste, but I got use to the comfort of it by the time we left. I definitely got use to the gourmet chef/owner of the inn. Her name is Bev and her husband is Lynn. She was a New York chef and he runs New York and Florida Hotels. We had the privilege of meeting him since he usually is not in the area more than 10 months of the year. The food was fabulous.
Val was dying to see the Bachelorette on the t.v., why you might ask, because she had actually met the Bachelorette in person and had been following the program. So after checking in, the girls crowded around the t.v. while the boys made fun of us.
