Another beautiful day in Victoria. Walked down to the inner harbour to have a look around. Saw Craigdarroch Castle and the kids (and the big kid) had a handstand competition on the grass at the front.
More totem poles and then back to the apartment to get changed and hop in to the car for some more exploring. We went to Thetis Lake which is a popular spot with the locals and we could see why. It was a beautiful, big lake and the water was cool but really refreshing. Ian, Caitlin and Joshua swam out to try and get close to the geese who had other ideas and kept swimming further away. Kaleb had a great time jumping off the rocks and jetty while I just enjoyed cooling off and then a bit of time relaxing on the grass and reading my magazine.
Next back to the apartment to get changed and layer up ready for our next adventure-whale watching. We headed down to Fisherman's Wharf and had Barb's famous fish'n'chips and seafood chowder for dinner-it was delicious!! We followed that up with a huge and really affordable ice cream from Jacksons before heading off on our cruise. We saw lots of humpback whales, sea lions and even a couple of otters. It was cold out on the deck of the catamaran, especially for Caitlin, Kaleb and I who got soaked by a wave!! It was fun though and a great way to end our time in Victoria.
