| The stern of our ship - backed to within 10' of the parking lot in Victoria. |
| Victoria was our final port of call before returning to Seattle. We docked at 7 AM, had breakfast (our final meal) at 8 and dissembarked by 10 AM. By noon, the ship was taking on passengers for the next cruise - and feeding them lunch on board. They don't miss a beat. Most of the crew (from Indonesia and the Philippines) works a full year without any days off - guess they don't have to worry about stealing any US jobs! |

| We only spent one evening in Victoria. It appeared to be a lovely town with pretty old buildings and many flowers. I guess, especially among Canadians, it's a popular honeymoon destination, also because of its temperate climate a good retirement spot as well. Which leads to the local saying, Victoria: newly-weds, nearly-deads and flowerbeds! |
