Butchart Gardens

We chose today to go to Butchart Gardens because the weather was supposed to be good.  It didn't disappoint.  We took the public bus and arrived close to 10:00 a.m.  The flowers were gorgeous and it was a beautiful day.  

We got back to downtown Victoria around 4:00 and strolled around the waterfront until it was time for our dinner reservation at Il Terrazzo.  This place was recommended by some people on the Rick Steves travel forum and also was mentioned in the guidebook we got for Victoria.  It totally lived up to its reputation.  Jim and I both enjoyed our dinners and brought our leftovers home for Thursday nights dinner.  Tomorrow night we have a reservation in The Bengal Room at The Empress.  Yummy.....
