The rush of Vancouver and the week of exploration deserved a mini break ;) So… Dave and Dan set off to the very British-style city of Victoria on Vancouver Island, in honour of all their friends in the UK.
Dave is impressed with Victoria harbour and the Empress Hotel. We of course, stayed in a hotel much better! (mmm – we wish!)
Dan and her flower boxes (another favourite of Dan and the Canadians)
Impressive photography by Dan of a castle must be noted. (No competition between us though!)
Yes yes – “aaaah”
For Harry P fans – This place was so much like “Diagon Alley” (Dan thought she could find a wand) and… Does anyone know what “Bubble Tea” is? (It’s everywhere here)
Dave all rugged up for the start of the winter – Yep – the chill really began this weekend.
The stunning Government House on the harbour (Photography by Mr David Stone)
Us trying out our new mini tripod so we could stop posing alone (and stop competing about photos!) We thought this was a good idea until the wind nearly blew over the camera!
Now this is a McDonalds! Where are the chandeliers in Aussie Maccas?
Dave admiring the giant fir trees on our first hike (you can’t see it very well but we were both completely soaked here after a huge downpour!)
Dave: “Just remember to keep it serious Dan”
Oh – and Happy Halloween!!! Victoria prepares the pumpkins. It took all Dave’s strength to convince Dan it wasn’t a good idea to help them harvest – even though Dan insisted it was in the spirit of the day.
Happy Halloween from Dan, Dave, the witch and singing skeleton!
