    Thanks for the great tips. We are visiting Victoria in October. We are avid gardeners and hope to tour several...hopefully it won't be too late in the season. Might have to have to have tea at the Empress despite your good advice...oh well...Tom

    Spot-on information about Victoria (especially that tea at the Empress is over-rated and a tourist trap). Fine photos too!! Love your pages!!!
