Previous post: Victoria
Link above provided because this visit was similar to the last: Great! Did get to Bard and Banker Scottish Pub along with Irish Times Pub. Though sister pubs, they are distinctly different. I liked the Scottish pub better, larger selection of beer and liked the food better.
Also took a nice long walk to Craigdarroch Castle and walked the grounds. The estate now "showcases the historic home in Victoria of the wealthy Dunsmuir family as well as their contribution to the development of Vancouver Island." We did not go in as we felt the entrance fee was too high. Also, one of the reasons for going here was I'd thought this was the home of the TV's Arrow, Oliver Queen. Turns out, it is Hatley Castle, the other castle in Victoria.
Once again, stayed at the Causeway Floats, right down front! Unlike the last trip, we did not find any Christmas presents.
