We really and I mean really wanted to visit Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. To get to the dock we had to jump onto a van at 5 a.m. Two hours later we were at the dock, ready to show our ID to customs officers and then walk the long plank to the Clipper ship. Lovely weather. Lovely hotel. I'm glad we brought the rollator walker. I'm glad I brought eye meds. My right eye again went dark red with inflammation. Eye ointment eventually calmed it down. The photo should show us sitting in a white carriage. We toured the city from the carriage for an hour. We rolled through a lovely large park and chatted with the driver. So many memories everywhere in Victoria. Neither one of us are vigorous anymore so we enjoyed many taxi rides. We ate dinner in a grand Greek restaurant one night but mostly didn't need too much food after the hotel's big breakfast

That looks familiar, we were just there in April. Where did you stay? We stayed at the Fairmount Empress Hotel. Check this out, it isn't centered, but you will laugh.

@Juliaacv We stayed at the Huntingdon Hotel and suites. For many years Victoria was almost our second home. I can picture many of its streets and sights in my mind. This was our farewell visit.

@sallypup We took the water taxi across from the hotel down to Fisherman's Wharf, what a fun ride and area that was.

@Juliaacv I love those cute little taxis. Hubby felt too shaky to get on one so we didn't attempt it. A couple of years ago we did ride on a little electric boat in the harbor by Victoria.

Sounds like a lovely trip, and the carriage ride through the park sounds so relaxing. Glad the eye ointment worked and you could still enjoy everything. Victoria is a pretty place, hope you get back there again soon.

@Weexxo Thank you. It took a lot of physical effort to get to Victoria. I think it will be our final visit; You would love its ghost walks.
