A few things to do in Victoria (my old home town) Hit the Empress for High Tea,stroll up Tourist Row (the street in front of the Empress and try to keep the misses out of the stores)Stop into Rodgers Chocolates if only to smell the ambeiance of over a hundred years of chocloatery(sp),a word of caution stay away from the Victoria Creams!Good for a LOT of energy and calories .
A little farther up the street on the other side of the road Morris's Tobaccoists another 100 year establihment with real Cuban cigars available. I don't smoke but still like going to take a look.As BB stated if you have the time the Royal B.C. Museum is worth the visit and also Butchart's Gardens are worth the drive or take a tour bus from in front of the Empress to them.
