Just for me!

He did it just for me!
We enjoyed a glass of wine in the Bengal Bar at the Empress Hotel...
we walked to Beacon Hill Park and the Parliament Buildings...
and then we caught the double decker city bus and were driven about the city and its outskirts listening to such interesting info and seeing places and things we wouldnt have been able to on our own in such a short time!
Nev did all of that for me!
We learned that Victoria has 1800 hanging baskets of flowers about the city with a desgnated water truck and driver who goes around watering each one every night!
We saw the start of Canada Highway 1, the longest highway in the northern hemisphere stretching all the way to the east coast, the ferry ride to Vancouver being considered a part of it since it falls under the government and thus part of the highway system!
We saw the oldest golf course in the Northern Hemispher where Bob Hope and Bing Crosby played back in the day, after a morning of salmon fishing.
and the list goes on...
my mind was boggling...
Victoria is a beautiful city...
and my honey admitted he had enjoyed it when we disembarked a couple of hours later, though he didn't really want anyone to know he'd done it!!!
