Day 9 Victoria

We got up early to get on our tour in Victoria. Dad, monte and I went on a city highlight tour and castle. We drove around ritzy areas of the island. The average price home is $650 K. It was amazing to see all the flowers everywhere. I guess the climate is perfect for flowers because I doubt everyone would have such a green thumb. We then had a tour of a castle built by a man from Scotland. He came to work in coal and then made a huge coal discovery and became very wealthy in the late 1800's. It was interesting. We then had a quick tour of downtown. The downtown area was quite impressive right on the waterfront, and beautiful buildings. A good day! A bit warmer for us, maybe 60 degrees with misty rain that stopped by mid morning.


















Paige and Courtney had high tea at the Impress Hotel. They were underwhelmed by the food and company, but overall had a good time too.








Tonight was our 2nd and last formal dinner- good for all us old people, bad for the girls, they love dressing up. We had wonderful lobster and shrimp. So good in fact, the girls ordered two meals!





I took pictures of them out on the deck, then we spotted some whales. It looked like about 4 of them, then we came across two more that flipped their tails. So awesome! A nice end of the day.
