Docked at Ogden Point in Victoria. It's a really nice port for tourists. There is a bank of payphones there, internet is available at one of the gift shops and there's lots of maps and information on things to do in Victoria...we could have used ports like this in our travels!!! Good job Victoria!!
We were supposed to meet up with one of my cousins here, so I phoned her. She'd been trying to get hold of me but of course I didn't have phone connection or internet while we were at sea. Unfortunately she was unable to come see us today, so we chatted for a bit instead, then we decided we'd just go for a walk. It was a beautiful sunny day and there was a slight, cool breeze blowing....it was heavenly!!!
Walked to Fishermen's Wharf. There's also a really nice park/playground nearby. On the way there we met a very nice man riding his electric unicycle. He asked all sorts of questions about our trip and cruising in general....think he's wanting to go on a cruise!
We didn't leave Victoria till about midnight. It was so beautiful sailing out of the harbour at night with all the lights shining on the water. We could even pick out the Parliament Buildings because they were lit up.
Woke up to a sunny morning in Vancouver. We ordered room service for breakfast and waited in our stateroom until they called our number for disembarking.
A good friend of ours was waiting to drive us home. We had a very interesting trip and I took over 1000 pictures. Hope you've enjoyed the smattering I've posted. Thanks for letting me share and re-live our holiday with you.
