Boot-iful Victoria

Unfortunately the next day Mike had to fly off somewhere else in Canada traveling through the snow and ice (sounded like 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' to me) to get to an AGM in a city where they only speak French (that's commitment for you, especially as he doesn't), which was a shame. But, if Mike had been there for our visit, he probably would have had to make-like-a-hostage and sit in the boot with Alex for all of our journeys. Caroline and Mike have a big car, but let's face it, three adults and five children is a lot of people (I did have my turn in the boot too, when Alex felt sick).







We headed not town for a bit of a touristy sightsee, and saw the beautiful Empress Hotel, the Victoria Government Buildings and some cool totem poles carved by the 'First Nations' - the indigenous peoples of Canada.




As you can see, the kids were in fine spirits.




Hello Mr Moose!




Gorgeous pic of Naomi and Eleni, so happy to be together again. Yesterday, Naomi said that the easiest thing to do would be to just move to Canada now, and go to the same school as Jacob and Eleni again, aww!



Love

P.S. It is no accident that in this photo they are both wearing the same colour top. They arranged it meticulously so they had the same colour top, trousers, and jacket on before leaving the house;)
