Despite gloomy forecasts, the rain has held off (almost all the time) so I've been able to enjoy the parks and countryside around Victoria as well as the city itself. Yesterday I had a sunny walk along the Gorge - which is in fact a tidal inlet - part of the same waterway that forms the harbour in Victoria. After a traditional fish and chip lunch at Fisherman's Wharf, I was treated to a horse and carriage ride around some of the sights, as Shannon's part-time job is driving one of the carriages. That was great, as it's the sort of thing I would never normally do.
Today we drove out through some of the lovely suburbs and along the coast to Elk Lake for a walk through the woods - a chance for Shannon's hyper-active little dog Pancho to burn off some of his excess energy. And then a delicious dinner at a seafood restaurant.
Tomorrow I catch the ferry to Seattle and back to the USA!
