Second day in Victoria, hooray! It was an absolutely beautiful day, sunny and warm (around 27) and every now and then a very slight breeze to make it comfortable. As I said, it was a sleep-in day, so I met Martin and Jennifer at their hotel at noon.
We decided to borrow the 4Runner of one of Jennifer’s friends and just spent the day exploring. We drove all the way up the east coast of the city and a bit further north and saw the incredible views, homes and gardens. Just insanely gorgeous homes and manicured gardens. Then we crossed the island and went to one of the Provincial Parks, right on the ocean. It was so nice Jenn and Martin started paying attention to the real estate for sale!
We went for dinner at an Italian restaurant in the city and then just relaxed in the hotel. On my way back from their place I tried to go to Starbucks (about 9:30 here) but it was closed!! What kind of Starbucks (besides the one in Barcelona) closes so early?! This is the west coast for crying out loud, home of the non-stop coffee drinkers. I am thinking it might be because it is in the Chapters (think Whyte ave Chapters upstairs) so I will use MapPoint a little later to find another one.
Tomorrow is another relax day before the work of Friday and Saturday, so Martin and I are going to go exploring. The only work I did today consisted of Jennifer handing me my Press Pass for the conference 🙂
