Victoria

So yesterday we took the ferry from Vancouver to Vancouver Island. It's a civilized affair, with free WiFi and only mildly prohibitive concession prices.  There was a coach driver on board selling passage on his coach into Victoria, which was parked on-board. This saved having to push the body bags onto public transport at the terminal, which I could seriously do without.

We got into town and checked into a place called Spinnakers, which is a bit unusual as it's actually a brewpub-restaurant that owns a guest house slightly up the street, in which we were to stay. Take a look:

Crash site

They gave us a free tasting of chocolate truffles and beer, and matched one to each.  This to my mind is a bit like matching orange juice to toothpaste, but it worked reasonably well.

And breakfast was also included, one choice being the breakfast pizza:

In short:  Situation critical; please send help.
