Travel to the West (10): The beautiful city of Victoria, BC 1

April 11 : Rained a little bit in the morning and then  kept Cloudy

Leaving the Butchart Gardens at about 1:30pm, We headed to the city of Victoria. It is only half hour's drive to the downtown of Victoria and  the hotel check-in time is 3pm. So we decided to drive to the seashore to admire the beautiful views and gorgous houses first.
