Victoria holiday

We made a brief trip over to Victoria, B.C. this weekend. Raoul's parents are over for a holiday, so we made the most of it and explored (well visited is a better word) a new part of the province. It was a bit of a rush really. Felt like 3 days of travel, for one day of holiday. We spent Thursday travelling to Vancouver, the afternoon R worked and the rest of us went to Granville island for a look around. Bought some mangoes, strawberries and 2 mangostein mmmmm. Next day it took the whole day to catch the ferry (accidentally went to the wrong ferry terminal, got stuck in line, had to wait 3 plus hours, ended up at wrong end of island and had to travel for an hour or so to Victoria, went to hotel). Next day we went to the Butchart gardens, very pretty, 58 acres of garden. Spent the afternoon at the bug museum. Very cool. Insects even crawled on me and Nyah. I'll post photos. We had a fantastic Italian meal in Victoria. I had a tuna salad, smoked tuna, grilled veg and greens, and E and I shared a flourless chocolate cake. By far the nicest meal of the trip. Today we spent the day catching the ferry back and coming home. Ta da, trip done.
