Arrived in Victoria

We have arrived safely in Victoria. We left Vancouver around 9 a.m. and arrived via ferry in the early afternoon. It was a bit misty and dull on arrival but it turned into a scorching afternoon. We had a wee bit look around the shops and down at the harbour and found a Scottish pub where we had a rest and a beer. We are back at the hotel now for a rest before finding a nice place for dinner tonight.

Last night in Vancouver we found a wee Singapore restaurant - you should have seen the portions we got!!! We could have fed eight people instead of just the four of us - they were huge!! I wasn't even hungry at breakfast this morning as a result!!

Victoria seems really nice and our hotel is fairly central. We are thinking of visiting Butchart Gardens tomorrow, but that depends on the weather. It's still lovely just now so if it stays settled, we should hopefully be OK.

We are keeping an eye on the volcan situation and know that it's playing up again, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens. We don't fly till Wednesday and it seems like the wind will change before then so we will just have to play it by ear.

I have free wi-fi at this hotel too so I would hope to send another message soon.
