Empress Victoria

Pip and I in our hotel room, enjoying morning tea.
Having so much fun in Victoria. Who knew it was such a cool city? I’ve been here before and enjoyed it, however, the gals and I are enjoying ourselves royally at the Empress Fairmont. Last night we attempted to hunt for ghosts in the hotel. Didn’t find one yet…
This morning we had breakfast at Murchies and I purchased some tea–Japanese green and Queen Victoria green and black blend. Next, we stopped at the best book store–Munro’s. We each purchased a book and I,  vintage style maps of Paris and the world. Wee break at the hotel and then we’re off to the Royal British Columbia Museum.
The pool at the Empress is great–we’ll relax there this afternoon. Peter is conferencing for the next few days while the girls and I play.
Books from Munro’s:
Harry Maclary by Lynley Dodd-Pip
UK addition “Cherry the Cake Fairy”-Tabitha
