Weekend in Victoria

My in-laws have been in town the past 2 weeks and we wanted to take them someplace special while they were visiting us from China. We went up to Vancouver to see Mark’s mum’s cousin as well as took the ferry to Victoria to spend a long weekend. All our accommodation we found on Airbnb and we really lucked out with our stay in Victoria. The house was huge and we were able to have an amazing view, with a Provincial park right out the front door.

Here are a few of the highlights from our trip.

Mark’s cousin’s apartment view.

Our brunch at Rebar in Victoria.

Mark and I in our whale watching outfits. We went with Springtide Whale Watching and had Mark as our guide. I highly recommend as we saw Orcas and Humpback whales. We also saw lots of seals and Porpoises.
