Lighthouse- We stopped by Fisgaurd Lighthouse on our way into Victoria, it was a lot smaller than I expected (almost ompa lumpa size) but it had a pretty cool view of the Victoria harbor. Notice I didn’t say scent, there was a stink in the air here. More like a STANK

Wonka Lighthouse

Redfish Blue Fish – We spent an hour in line waiting to order food from this seaside shack, angry Alison came out and began pacing back and forth so she wouldn’t pass out. I don’t follow the logic here but I’m not arguing with it. We got some different fish tacos that people love, they were alright but one of mine had a hair. I tossed that one right into the trash!

Long lines here!

White Heather Tea Room – I nicknamed this place “Grannys Cupboard” because it had a very formal, stiff feel, with muted colors and ancient curtains which I believe is what you are going for if you are interested in afternoon high tea and the cutest little scrumptious delectable finger foods. I struggled to describe this in a positive manner to some Canadian folks earlier today and the guy told me “Well it’s not a Texas rattlesnake BBQ” which I’ve never even heard of (and I’m from Texas) but I appreciated the stereotype but only after lassowing a nearby twister and tossing my ten gallon hat in the air while filling it full of molten hot lead from the blazing barrels of my deadly six shooters. Yeeeehaw. Anyway, I’ll go on record of saying I’d prefer anything involving rattlesnakes over high tea again. Tea is good if you toss out the frilly doilies and what not.

High tea at it's finest

B&B – I’m not a big fan of B&B’s because they usually feel like I’m staying in someones back bedroom but this place is nice. The bed in our room is gigantic, seriously, like you need a step ladder or running start to get into the thing. Whoever lived in that lighthouse definitely didn’t sleep in this bed.

Tapas – For dinner we went to a tapas bar for some drinks with our tiny plates of food. If you know me you are probably thinking I’m going to make fun of this place, but I actually liked it. We need to go to more places like this and less like Grannys Cupboard.
