Victoria BC

Victoria on Vancouver Island is a lovely relaxed city surrounded by water. The Empress Fairmont Hotel is in prime position with the original building having been added to on either side.

These cute little ferries and water taxis are great for water transport. Looking like a floating bathtub they are quick and easy. We caught one to Fisherman's Wharf for a fish dinner.

The Satin Moon quilt shop in Fort Street is open 7 days a week and carries many local patterns and Canadian design fabrics. The shop has been going for 30+ years and current owner Linda is very friendly and welcoming.
