Victoria and Butchart Gardens

Apart from the whale watching, our day took in Victoria (British Columbia's capital) and then a 30 minute bus ride to Butchart Gardens.

Victoria was very nice (small) and worth spending a lot more time there. Oh yes, we'll be back next Thursday evening on the Celebrity Solstice, making our last stop before the end of the cruise. We've just realised how it might work that we only have from 5pm to 11pm in port - it's quite possible to walk around, but the best is that the Butchart Gardens are open until 9pm and they've got lighting!

The Gardens, built mostly in a disused limestone quarry (well, the sunken gardens are), are fabulous and definitely worth a visit.
