It's hard to believe that we have come to the end of our journey. Our final stop on our cruise was in Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. However, the stop wasn't until the evening, so we spent the day playing on board. The kids finally had a chance to play on the water slides, even though there were chattering teeth for the whole twenty minutes! And Aaron got to practice his new animal towel making skills too.
Once we arrived, our only plan was to walk the town and explore, since this stop was only 5 hours long. The bay was a fun little area full of street performers and vendors, as well as the wonderful statue below by Nathan Scott titled "The Homecoming" to commemorate the Canadian Navy's 100th anniversary.
Then we happened upon a quaint little ice cream shop, so we took a stop for some before heading back to the boat. We missed sunset, but got to city come alive! While I couldn't capture everything from above, I was able to catch more details from the ground for a different perspective.
And the view of our boat at night was something to see! This was the first time we had seen it lit from afar and how cool it was. Even now, to see the images, feels surreal to think we traveled on something so enormous.
Before we knew it, the boat was pulling away from the shore line and the full moon was shining on the water. It was certainly bitter sweet, as we had been away from home for almost ten days and were ready to return, but also really enjoyed getting away and exploring so many new things.
I hope you enjoyed seeing our trip and hearing about some of our adventures! And maybe it has you ready to go on your own adventure!!! I might still have one more bonus waiting for us too ...
