Victoria BC - final stop

Our last stop on our cruise to Alaska was Victoria BC. What a charming place to visit ! We got off the ship and took a bus into town and stopped into a coffee shop....Jamie sacrificed herself with a drink so we could use their WiFi ! Time to get boarding passes for our plane rides home tomorrow and who wants to pay the ship to do it !!!! After getting both of ours at different spots we headed out to see what we could see in Victoria !
We walked past alot of the touristy things and it was great to see their magnificent English archetecture and massive buildings ! Tons of people everywhere, lots of buses and school children playing on the parliament building lawn.
Out came the geo chaching and what fun places we found, side gardens to some of these great touristy places. One in a little coffee shop.....what a smart man, then we HAD to buy a cookie of course ! He spied us first and said "I know what you are looking for" !

Amazing trees in these climates !

Lots of totem poles.

One of our paths led us past this lawn that was some sort of very proper recreation area for what looked like boccie ball or some kind of lawn bowling. Everyone was properly dresssed in white, they were using alot of hand signs of all sorts and they even had this cool ball gatherer that they pushed around. The balls weren't even round but all marked with their spin like Ken marks his golf balls.....very interesting as we stood by the fence watching !
We had great luck finding all the caches we looked for, down some wonderful quaint streets where people have darling Victorian homes and everyone has a garden of flowers and beautiful small lawns. Their trees have great hiding spots !!!
We ended up in this magnificent park, there was a petting zoo, peacocks wandering around, canadian geese and ducks, wonderful trees.....great to see while a hunting we went !
We ended up at another park overlooking the Puget sound and then turned back to find the down town and bus that brought us there, and then of course it was back to the ship....in search of FOOD !!!!
