Lido Bistro Victoria BC on the Inner Harbour

I just discovered this year old restaurant right on the edge of our beautiful Inner Harbour. The have a wonderful menu and if the appies we had are any indication of the quality of the rest of the menu, visitors to the Lido Bistro are in for a treat. The Bistro is at 1234 S. Wharf Street. Go down the stairs from Wharf Street and you are there. Great beer, super food, a spectacular view of the Inner Harbour...wow! Thanks to Chef Fauna Martin for some great treats.

Spa Sirona is the newest Spa in Victoria. It is the Spa in Cook Street Village in Victoria BC.

Highland Pacific Golf Course Victoria BC

Today I was invited along with a tourism and hospitality group to check out the new course at Highland Pacific Golf Course. It is a spectacular course that has been very well designed making it one of the best courses in Victoria. Check out my facebook page to see a photo pictorial of the golf course. Most of the holes on the course are signature holes. The course is well manicured and the greens are in great shape. There is a paved cart path throughout the course. The two-tier practice range is superb and it has a chipping and putting area off to the side. The pro shop is well equipped and the range restaurant has very good food (see range club sandwich above...mmm good).

Everything at Highland Pacific is first class. Well done. Check it out, you will be glad you did. Be sure to bring along your camera.

Victoria Waterfront June 1 and 2 - Fog, Sun, Rain, Sun and High Winds

Yesterday and today we played tourist and spent some time along the waterfront between Clover Point and the Ogden Point Breakwater along Dallas Road in Victoria BC. We started day one in dense fog and low tide and then the sun burned off the fog. That night it rained and then today we spent time at Clover Point in brilliant sun and high winds. There was lots of marine traffic and lots to see. Spring brings the lowest tides of the year so there is lots of shoreline that we rarely get to see. Check out our pictures, click here.
