🇨🇦 Victoria Day Trip Diary

⏰ 8:30 AM - Met the group & took a coach to the ferry terminal. ⛴️ 9:50 AM - Boarded the ferry (bus parked in the middle, everyone went upstairs to the lounge). ⚠️ Pro tip: It was freezing and cloudy—get inside early to snag a seat, or you’ll be stuck standing or braving the chilly outdoor deck! 🕦 11:30 AM - Arrived at the terminal, hopped back on the bus. 🕧 12:30 PM - Reached downtown Victoria—time to explore! Felt much safer than Vancouver (hello, capital city vibes!). Quaint shops, artsy vibes—so charming! Bonus: Arc'teryx was cheaper than back home… so treat yourself mode activated. 💸 🕟 4:30 PM - Regrouped to pick up others visiting Butchart Gardens ($46—honestly, downtown was lovely enough!). 🕖 7:00 PM - Back on the ferry → 9:30 PM - Returned to school. Final thoughts: Group tours = stress-free & safer! 👍🏻 Victoria’s coastal + cultural mix = perfect day trip. #Travel #UBC #Canada #VictoriaBC #ExploreCanada #Wanderlust #SeasideVibes
