I know you are all just dying to know at which exotic, far away location DH and I spent our vacation this year. Well, this was it: Port McNeill! What do you mean you've never heard of it. Everyone who is anyone holidays there.


Neroutsos Inlet near Port Alice


Coal Harbour


Port Hardy


Shephard's Garden near Port McNeill


Telegraph Cove

Then we went home and I did laundry. Two days later we were off again. This time we headed south to Victoria.


Craigdarroch Castle


Craigdarroch Castle Diningroom


Craigdarroch Castle Bedroom (one of many)


Finally got to see some wildlife that wasn't smooshed at the side of the road.


Parliament Building Victoria, BC



Parliament Building Ceiling


Legislative Chamber


Stained Glass Window


The Empress Hotel


Tea Time at The Empress Hotel


Carriage Ride with Molly the horse.....and DH


Parasailing over the beach
No, this is neither DH nor I. We just watched.


Sooke River Potholes


China Beach Provincial Park


Port Renfrew


Kinsole Trestle

Then we went home so I could do more laundry. We were planning on heading out somewhere else but DH got sick so that was the end of our vacation. He's all better and back to work now.:o)

The B & B we stayed at in Victoria was dreadful. We got a room in the basement. Our host called it the dungeon but I called it the torture chamber. For breakfast we got eggs.....every single morning. My God! It was like being back in the Maritimes. Our host was straight out of Fawlty Towers. He bitched and moaned. He was sarcastic and he was one week away from retirement. I think he should have sold the B & B years ago.
