Sitting in Vancouver airport so sad to end this trip. Kind of a blessed event with the spectacular weather. Victoria welcomed us with brilliant sun shine. We did an overview of the city in the morning and had a great guide.

Returned to the ship for my last lunch onboard. Going to miss my routine of fresh Alaskan salmon, asparagus and carrots each day. Do not need variety find something I love I stick with it.

I searched the Internet for the best "Devonshire tea" in Victoria. This fresh warm scones with raspberry jam and fresh or clotted cream. Most scones on ships and in the USA are nothing like the English, NZ, or Aussie scones. I miss them and when I am in England, NZ or Australia I seek them out whenever I can. I found a place with rave reviews called Murchies right in the Downtown area.

So we hopped on the free shuttle to town and Jerry and Helen were on the same shuttle. So they joined us on our visit to Murchies. I was delighted with my scone. I selected the black currant scone (also something you do not see and very English) got an extra helping of fresh cream and was in a complete state of joy!

Everyone got something different and it was all REALLY good. Their sandwiches looked great too. Big place with lots of seating and an adjacent tea and coffee shop with lots of English by ne China cups and mugs. I bought a set of mugs a little bigger than normal and went back to the ship a very happy camper.

Arriving back just in time for trivia where we came in second.

Been a great trip, amazingly calm sea, lots of sunshine and no rain. Some great excursions, good company and met some very nice KLT clients I had never met before.

Sad for it to end but looking forward to Giraffe safari our next trip.
