Day Two

The second day in Victoria started off with a long walk and then a delightful breakfast in Murchies, we then walked over to Cook Street Village and had a beer at the Beagle, although the digital QR code for our vaccinations seemed to be a tad wonky, but we managed to convince the manager that we were not a pair of Typhoid Marys.

We decided to go to Smiths pub after that, but it was closed, well, it had a small patio open, but we rapidly moved on. The temptation was to visit one of the Thursday pubs, but we stuck to our initial idea of different bars on the Friday and venue number two was Garrick's Head pub for lunch.

One of the larger, and oldest, of the many breweries in Victoria is Vancouver Island Brewing and we strolled up there after lunch and enjoyed what they do best.

The onboard beer calculator indicated the flight of five beers was the way to go, so we each had a nice selection of beers and spent the afternoon people watching and talking about stuff and nonsense. It was a relaxing, happy time.

The stroll back into town was intended to take us for dinner somewhere, but there were issues with restaurants being either fully booked, or not having enough staff due to covid, so we about turned and walked up to Romeos for pizza and beer. 

After that, we both agreed that we were quite done with it all.
