🇨🇦 Victoria Weekend Getaway: 2 Days of Blooms, Castles & Seafood! 🌸

Escape Vancouver for a chill two-day adventure in Victoria—where gardens dazzle, castles whisper history, and fish & chips reign supreme. Here’s how to do it right: 🌷 Day 1: Floral Fantasies & Castle Dreams 1️⃣ The Butchart Gardens ($42) Iconic but crowded! Blooms = 10/10 | Photos = queue-friendly patience required. Time needed: 2-3 hours (tip: weekdays = fewer elbows in your shots). 2️⃣ Hatley Castle (Free!) X-Men vibes + peacocks strutting on uni lawns 🦚. Castle tours: Summer only (book ahead!). 🌊 Day 2: Lighthouses & Fish Feasts 3️⃣ Fort Rodd Hill & Fisgard Lighthouse ($10) Hidden gem! Part-lighthouse, part-military bunker (1-hour explore). 🍽️ Foodie Stops: The Fish Store Halibut stew + mussels = cozy but slow service. Bundle up—patio winds bite! Red Fish Blue Fish (Round 2!) Grilled wild salmon salad = fresh AF. Halibut & chips = still MVP. 💡 Pro Tips ✔️ Garden early birds snag empty paths by 9AM. ✔️ Hatley Castle grounds > paid tours (fight me). ✔️ Fish & chips showdown: RFBF wins for speed, Fish Store for views. #VictoriaBC #WeekendVibes #FoodieTravel
