Victoria






So I am now on Vancouver Island and first stop is Victoria. I managed to get the ferry over and not feel too sea sick! Victoria is a very English town, there are flower baskets hanging from all the lampposts, they even serve High Tea in one of the hotels. Spend the afternoon when I got here walking around seeing where everything was. Saw a man playing the bagpipes in a kilt next to a totem pole! (Scots they get everywhere)

The second day I had so much planned, was going to rent one of the mopeds and travel around seeing the stuff that was further out of town but the weather decided to pour down so I went to the Museum which was actually quite good - well the Native Indian and Victorian sections where - watched a Charlie Chaplin movie in a Victorian theatre! Then went and saw a real movie. Met a women from Newcastle and went out a walk with her in the afternoon and then for dinner later.
Saw this sign for the name of a pub - though it would be a good place for a lot of people that i know!!! You know who you are!
