Exploring Victoria
I thought perhaps I hadn’t heard our flight attendant correctly when she said it was a short flight from Vancouver to Victoria….eleven minutes. But no. It took us exactly eleven minutes by plane to reach Vancouver Island. Talk about short flights!
We found our rental car and soon we met up with Paula and Albert at our Air B & B for the week. Although my sister has a brace on her leg (she is soon to get a knee replacement) she and and her husband took the upstairs Penthouse type place. It is indeed amazing up there with a lovely, huge kitchen, living space, bedroom, 2 decks, etc. Gorgeous.
Our room is on the main floor and although much smaller, very nicely appointed and suitable for both of our needs. The toughest part is visiting them with floor flights of stairs between us.
After mass we found a great brunch place called Nourish. Then it was off to do groceries for the week.
The weather was supposed to be rainy all week but that changed! It turned out to actually be hot and sunny. I think we’re going to love this time away together.
There are flowers everywhere (and cool cars!) and our hosts left us fresh flowers inside too!
