I love Victoria, BC – and when I was invited to spend Christmas with a friend at Christmas in BC – I really wanted to go. My childhood friend was flying out from UK and was staying at the Fairmont Empress Hotel – an icon of downtown Victoria that everyone knows about. I remember the really awesome English tea that you can have at the Fairmont Empress – but they are pretty costly – if I may add – about $40 – $55 a person. I love the Empress – from the outside to the inside - I love the ambiance of the hotel – the chandeliers. I wished I could be in BC for Christmas – but family commitment as well as work – just did not permit us to fly to BC this year – maybe next – but for those who are heading to BC – don’t forget to check out my favorite oyster bar @ Humboldt Street for Buck-A-Shuck oysters. Yums!
