Victoria, BC, Canada – Walking around with Jen (Expat Traveller) etc

I can’t believe it’s more than 3 Months since we met
Jen, P and Cammie in Victoria at Vancouver Island.
Face to face for the first time.
We miss them all and Victoria.
Just see the Photos and you’ll understand why.

Left: P and Cammie. Above: Jen and Cammie Jen is mostly known as Expat Traveler

Here you see our wonderful hosts and for many years blogfriends.
 
One of the wonderful things to be better known is to make dinner together. Here Jen and Anna.
 
The result – What’s better on a Summer Day?
We walked a tour along The inner Harbour of Victoria, and we felt at Home.
Before the arrival of the Europeans in the late 1700s, the Victoria area was home to several communities of Coast Salish peoples, including the Songish (Songhees). Coast Salish refers to First Nation or Native American cultures who inhabited areas in British Columbia and Washington state. Up right you see a Totem, that is now dived in 3 pieces. At a holy ground for the Songhees. In respect of this native nation please read.

Short Vacation Report #10: Victoria and …

Yeah, a Day with Jen and Cameron in beautiful Victoria.
 
Papa must admit we slept very well and looong. Had a great breakfast. Jen made crepes with fresh blueberries, strawberries and banana slices. Heavenly. Just like the Flowers above..
Are we going up or are we going for a walk?

We went for a walk along the waterfront.
 
Old Bridge. Details will follow…
 
Here they are: Anna, Jen and Cameron (More about this special place later)

Cameron really enjoyed Papa speaking Norwegian;-)

While Anna and Jen worked in the Kitchen..
 
Dinner as prepared by Anna. P came home from work so the 5 us enjoyed the meal together before we had to leave for the speed boat to Seattle.
 
We left Victoria, Jen and P and Cammie with one thought in our mind: We will meet again;-)

More to come from our visit to Victoria…
