Victoria, Vancouver Island

Wendy speaking here........... The Empress Hotel at the inner harbour, Victoria. We met Mal here after Samara and I had been looking at the shops. We decided to have a drink on the Verandah overlooking the Victoria harbour.
It was very fancy and very pleasant. Many people come here to have the high tea and the place was hopping. It is a lovely old hotel which has been kept beautifully with lovely garden beds and hanging baskets around the outside. We looked into the ballroom which had an elaborate stained glass dome in the middle above the dance floor and conservatorium (which was being revamped). The only thing that was lacking was that they did not know how to make an iced coffee. (Samara ordered one and when it arrived it was only cold coffee in a glass). We sent it back and Samara ordered an o.j.
