Arrived here in Victoria in one piece - the flights were good. Up and down we went - Edmonton, Kelowna and finally Victoria. I decided to check my bag and glad I did - it was waiting for me no probs. Got the shuttle to the hotel and enjoyed the view along the way - this city is so beautiful. My room is cute and it's very clean. Had a light supper in the hotel restaurant - a cup of seafood chowder and a wonderful green salad with honey poppyseed dressing. Delish! Then I walked over to the Legislative Building as I am just four blocks away and took photos of the lights on the building. Back here to watch Criminal Minds and scare myself half to death! Think I am going to the James Bay Tea room for brekky. Then off to walk my socks off and enjoy fish and chips for supper - hopefully. Hopefully a tea stop at Murchies. Night Night!!
While in the Lake District I wanted to do some light walking but not heavy duty hiking where I could easily get lost and my body not found for days partially eaten by hungry...sheep? Anyway, you get the drift...not too grueling and safe for a solo walker. I get a bit nervous when I am too far from civilization. There are lots of books about walking in the Lake District but they seem to be all about walking the fells in remote places...neither Thelma nor I fancied that. While browsing in the post office/shop in Ambleside one day (if you are ever in Ambleside you must go there - a treasure!) I found a stand of walk descriptions on post cards. And there I found my walk. After all who could resist a stroll on the "coffin trail" in William Wordsworth country... I took a look and thought hmm...cafe along the route...that works for me. (with at least the security of knowing there was an available "loo" along the way.) Okay, I may not have totally...
