woke up at the usual 5:30 but went back to sleep until 8:15… made tea and checked email and read the Globe and Mail…

once we were all up, we went for breakfast at the top of the hotel where there were great views of downtown and the harbour… booked our Tea at the Empress…

packed our bags, put everything in the car and checked out…

walked to the harbour and toured the Undersea World… nothing to write home about…

after the show we headed to the Empress for a wonderful tea experience… we wore gloves and Cyndi had on pearls and a lacy headband… it was delightful… lovely sandwiches, scones, and we even had the chef bring us honey in the comb from their own hives…

then a horse drawn carriage picked us up and we had a 45 minute tour…

what a lovely way to end our stay in Victoria…

drove the Malahat, stopping at all the viewing spots and arrived in Courtenay just after 8… had pizza delivered for our dinner… got our bags in and are heading to bed… been a long, eventful and enjoyable day…
