Trip to Victoria

Boarding the ferry for Victoria!

(or beautiful castle for those more into princesses)

Exploring...

Our first night's dinner was at The Spaghetti Factory, which had no a/c... brutally hot!

After dinner we returned to our hotel to cool in the pool... 

(which became a nightly event) 


The following day we ventured to Beacon Hill Park for a picnic. As we were sitting eating, this peacock came over to check out what we had to offer...

One things I loved about Victoria, was the flowers which were everywhere! This was one of the many garden displays in this park... 

Melissa enjoyed the playground...

Just down the street from our hotel was where the horse carriage tours were located...

We ventured out to enjoy the very vibrant night-life on our second night... (Melissa dressed herself, and I couldn't sway her)

The Parliament Building at night... 

Along the harbor there were various entertainers. This gentleman played several instruments simultaneously and sang...

Melissa dropping coins in his guitar case...

My favorite were these acts which were scheduled every night. They were basically stand-up comedians with a circus act...

Melissa enjoying the show. At times she was quite concerned about their safety when they were juggling fire or large knives high up on a unicycle!
