Victoria cont.

Here comes the Black Ball Ferry. The ferry turns around and we drive in the back. When we arrive at Victoria we drive out the front side door.

Black Ball Ferry arrives at Port Angles

The Ferry docks in the inner harbor of Victoria right in front of our hotel! Victoria is the center of government for British Columbia. Here is a shot of the parliament building, our hotel is just out of the picture to the right.

Inner harbor and Parliament Building

Of course the Empress Hotel is also on the inner harbor. After throwing Ty and our luggage in the room we walked over to the double decker tour bus in front of the Empress and loaded up for a quick city tour. Afterward we walked over to Nautical Nellies Restaurant & Oyster Bar and we both had Veal Oscar for dinner. Yumm. We also discovered a local beer called '1516', a Bavarian Lager which was great and we'll have to find a source for this beer when we get back home.
