April 30
Awakened just before 9:00 to an overcast sky with mountains on both sides (I get up about 5:30 and open my curtains since I can't leave them open at night). Watched the morning show (which was about disembarkation over the next two days) and then went to the craft class at ten. We made pompom luggage tags or book marks.
Trivia was early today since we arrived in Victoria about the time trivia is usually held. We had 12 correct and the winner had 15.
Q. Who fathered Cleopatras's twins?
Q. What country has the longest coastline?
Q. Where are the finals of Wimbledon held?
After trivia it was time to get my coat (high today was only about 13C/55F), change shoes and purses. Went down to deck 2 and watched us dock. Was off the ship about 1:15 and our tour departed at 1:30. I chose a highlights of Victoria tour so that I could get an idea of what the city was like. Victoria is a beautiful city, very clean, and every home seems to have a beautiful garden. Looking forward to a return visit.
Back on the ship about 4 pm and I was starving (I hadn't had breakfast or lunch) so went to the Lido for a delicious egg salad sandwich and salad. Penny and June came in about 5:00 and we talked about our activities (June had visited with one of her sisters who lives just outside Victoria).
Pub trivia was not one of out better ones. We only had 8 right and the winner 14.
Q. Which Disney film was their first feature length film with no animation?
Q. What was the first of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to be built?
Q. Which planet is most like Earth?
Had to say good-bye to June and Penny as they get off tomorrow. We had a group picture taken with Santana, the show host (she also hosts Pub trivia).
Dinner was good and Patty shared her wine with us - a nice Moscato. I had steak and Strawberries Romanoff.
The show tonight was not until 10:30 and was the comedian from last night. I gave it a pass since I have to meet for my excursion at 8:45 tomorrow.
