Alaskan cruise: Day 7 - ocean walk

Friday, September 23, we stopped at Victoria, British Columbia.  Originally we were suppose to arrive at 7 pm.  However, due to not stopping at Ketchikan, Alaska the previous day, we arrived at Victoria around noon.  We had to be back on board the ship at 11 pm so that gave us a nice long day to enjoy Victoria.

Finally we had sun.  And warm temperatures!  The temperature was in the low 70s F.

Tammy and I didn't go on any excursions.  Instead we walked around town all day.  In the map below, we walked along the ocean shore from the "You are here" marker on the left side over to Beacon Hill Park on the right.  Then we walked up through the park to downtown Victoria up to Chinatown.  Then back downtown and along the harbor back to the ship.

Along the ocean shore I picked and ate some late season blackberries from plants that were growing wild.

Near Beacon Hill Park is mile zero of the Trans-Canada highway.  This marker is in a corner of the park.
