After disembarking we drove down to Victoria. We had 2 and a half hours to explore. I needed to buy another jacket as the weather was a little bit more extreme that I had counted on. So other than looking for a jacket we walked around and sussed out the quaint little town. It was very beautiful with all the old buildings. Martin, Werni and I checked out Crystal gardens. It was really touristy but fun. There were flamingos, macaws and a walk through butterfly area. It was nice and warm in there so the butterflies would not die. 
One of the butterflies landed on my hand so Werni grabbed my camera and took the shot. I finally found myself a jacket, on sale too 40 % off, wohoo !!! for all you shopaholics out there : )We made our way back to the harbour and the wind was starting to get very cold as the arvo progressed. Everyone seemed fairly shopped out so off to the campground we went. As usual there was the typical writers guild going on. Most of us were keeping diaries and it was a daily ritual seeing several people writing before or after dinner. Went to bed not affected by alcohol. Big mistake, froze all night long.
Back to Canadian Parks West Page or on to Day 5.
