En route from Qualicum Beach to Victoria we detoured up the Cowichan Valley, and walked along the lake there.
Lunch at the Zanatta Vineyard in the Cowichan Valley. A very pleasant lunch on the veranda and a fair amount of chat with other patrons.
And in to the city of Victoria, where we were booked for 3 nights at Abbeymoore Manor

This was the nicest of all the places we stayed from an overall point of view. Ian & Ann were particularly good hosts, the fresh baked cookies lovely, and the breakfast really was a very good breakfast.
