The sun was shining as we pulled into Victoria. We went on the Butchart Gardens Tea and City Highlights tour. The Butchart Gardens is a 118-year-old internationally renowned 55-acre display garden located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia. The Garden was designated a National Historic Site of Canada, in 2004 for its one hundredth birthday. With 50 full-time gardeners, the gardens were absolutely stunning. I loved the rose and Japanese gardens.
For the afternoon tea, 50 of our closest tour bus companions joined us inside for a cup of tea and a variety of sweets and savories.
The gift shop was massive, and a few of our bus companions got caught up in the excitement and almost missed the bus back to the ship.
After dinner, we went to see the Long, Love, Legs show on the ship. A next-gen choreography show filled with sequins and feathers, this was not our cup of tea. Mom would have got up and left, but didn’t want to cause a scene. Eek!
