Getting our exercise in Victoria

Thursday, May 15th

Took the little harbour ferry to the Empress Hotel dock. We did some shopping at the Bay and then started walking along the waterfront over the Johnston Street bridge and on to the Westsong Trail back toward West Bay. About half way there we stopped at Spinnakers where we sampled the beer and cheese pairings and had chocolate truffles with selected beers, too. An amazing food experience and a nice break during a long walk. The view was exceptional.

In the evening we went for Chinese food at the Sampan in Saanich. There were 17 of us ...all related! More relatives arriving tomorrow for the wedding on Saturday.
