Time well spent very organized

We took the Gray Line tour to Vancouver Island for the Victoria and Butchard Gardens Tour.It was an interesting tour but there were problems:•When they built the bus, they must have installed springs. But these seemed to have worn out. The driver, Dave, informed us at one stage that there was a bumpy ride coming up. But we had already noticed the problem as soon as the tour started. The bus was quite full with 28 passengers.•The bus did not appear very old, but it must have been built before they invented seatbelts. No seat belt for the driver! None for the passengers!! This made for a very scary and uncomfortable ride, especially during the mad dash from Victoria to the BC Ferry and subsequently back to Vancouver. There should be a law about seatbelts in Canada!•Dave was OK, except for his string of corny jokes eg” What’s the difference between a canoe and a bus driver – you cannot tip a canoe but you can tip a driver”Victoria was interesting, the Butchard Gardens were very pretty.But a bus with springs and seatbelts would have made the trip more enjoyable.

The gardens were well worth visiting and we saw a hummingbird. Victoria harbour area had a lot going on and we ate in a restaurant on the harbour edge. The weather for the day was superb which made the ferry crossing all the better with some wonderful scenery.
