Victoria – Sunday, 22nd May
Today we had planned a whale watching cruise, but felt that we had seen enough whales in Alaska to last a lifetime, so we changed our excursion to a trip to visit Butchart Gardens. This turned out to be a very good decision. Butchart Gardens was created about one hundred years ago in a disused quarry.
After two hours walking around the magnificent garden we were due to catch our coach and return to the ship. However, we decided we would like a little more time in the garden and also to visit a Butterfly garden nearby. After discussion with our tour guide we got off the coach and returned to the garden for a quick lunch before catching a shuttle bus to the butterfly garden.
We made our way back to the ship where we had dinner and as the ship was remaining in port until midnight Geoffrey decided to go back into town and try out his night time photographic skills.
