According to the locals today has been the first real day of sunshine. It was glorious.
This is a short post as we have only just got back from a full day. In the morning we took a coach ride out to the Butchart Gardens. The gardens were created by the wife of the owner of a cement factory. The deep hole created by removing the limestone has been turned into a superb sunken garden featuring a rose garden, Japanese garden and an Italian garden as well as many other formal areas and a superb fountain.
After a short walk around downtown Victoria we returned to the hotel to get ready for thr evening's entertainment. The Cannon Battle.
A number of the tall ships were going to sail out from harbour an do battle. We were in the Lynx. It was a superb spectacle with hands-on experience of raising the sails.
More information when I get time.
