Victoria

On Wednesday we got up early and caught the ferry to Victoria.  The website said to be there 30 minutes early which us being us we were only 23 minutes early.  The lady checking us in informed us we were to have been there an hour early and that we had "failed miserably."  Of course this became the saying of the rest of the trip.  Needless to say she didn't have the most pleasant personality.  We didn't have much time but some of us toured Craigdarroch Castle, we had wonderful fish and chips for lunch,  and we went to the Butterfly Gardens.  It was a fun but long day.

Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria.  Kyle, Marijka and I took a tour of it.  It was an awesome place.  There was a great view of the city from the tower at the top.  The woodwork inside was amazing.  It was built in the 1800's and at that time cost $500,000 to build.  It use to sit on 28 acres of land but now it is surrounded by homes.
