Victoria! Such a clean, attractive city! Flowers everywhere. At night, the entire outline of the Parliament Building is lit with thousands of light bulbs. Looks like a fairyland palace.
We arrived around noon and tried to find a place to tie up at the city floats in front of the Empress Hotel. Fortunately, there weren't any vacancies. I say "fortunately" because we found out there were better floats a block away at half the price! We arrived at exactly the right moment; a sailboat was just pulling away from the outermost dock, so we zipped into the vacated spot. Later in the day, the entire marina filled up, so we were very glad we got here when we did.
Walked around town, ate lunch, and bought a few groceries. After supper, we strolled some more. Wandered around the impressive lobby of the Empress Hotel. On the waterfront, we watched an artist producing pictures with great rapidity and heard a street musician singing and playing a guitar. This is a very pleasant place to be.
