Victoria, BC
05/17/2011
Had the morning free and arrived in Victoria around noon. We met the ladies from Tourism Victoria and Toursim British Columbia onboard before we headed off to tour this lovely place. We had a guided tour of Butchardt Gardens which was fantastic! The tulips were awesome as you can see by the pictures. After that we went to the Inner Harbour and had a little time on our own. They gave us an admission ticket to the BC Royal Museum but we only had 15 minutes to tour it. After it closed we went to the Empress Hotel to walk around before catching the bus back to the ship. Dinner was on are own and we ate in the buffet and it was very good.
