Tea And Flowers In A Bustling City
Victoria’s Empress lobby hosts daily tea with crumpets and small sandwiches priced at $3. Tourists and local editors mingle as the city blends historic sites like Trounce Alley and Ft. Victoria with modern travel between ferries, floatplanes, and a twice daily CP Air service. Butchart Gardens, a 25 acre restoration project, sits near a former quarry now turned floral spectacle with a tall concrete smokestack remaining as a memory of past industrial activity.
