We flew out on New Year’s Day to Victoria to get a taste of winter on the west coast. We were told to expect gray skies and soak-in weather with overhanging clouds for days. Gloom is the word. Bleak is another word that comes to mind. So that is our expectation, or at least our assumption.
Across the Rockies towards Victoria
We finally checked in at 4 pm after a visit to our addiction, Whole Foods Market (or affectionately known as whole pay check market). And we were extremely surprised and pleased with our 2 bedroom + den suite (perched high on the 14th floor).
