Today was more or less a sea day, because we didn’t get into Victoria until 6:00pm. We played bingo in the morning, which of course was a waste - we didn’t win cash or a free cruise, so the point was really just to have fun playing. A said she likes it better than slots because the suspense is more drawn out.

We went to lunch at the Summer Palace restaurant with my mom, and the boat was rocking hard for several hours. It didn’t bother me at all (perhaps I should take up surfing?) but I still had a hard time in the hallways because everyone ELSE was tottering around.

At Victoria, we boarded our bus for a tour around the city. I thought the bus driver was pretty bad - LOTS of dumb jokes, mentioning things HE could see without saying “on your right” or “about 2:00″ or anything, etc. I just didn’t like the guy. When the tour was over, he brought us back to the ship. We immediately took the shuttle bus back downtown so I could do a little geocaching; I found one virtual easily, and I tried for a nearby physical one but it was somewhere that wasn’t open 24 hours.

We took the shuttle back to the ship and found out the cafe where we were to meet ms_interpret at 11:15pm actually closed at 10pm. Rather than waiting around alone in the dark and cold, we decided to head back onto the ship so we could finish last-minute packing before the bags had to be placed in the hallway at 1am.
