      ​​@@theseareafewofmyfavoriteth2788I don't think the horse carriages and pedicabs operate in the winter, not sure about the double decker bus, the petting zoo is not open over winter and I think Point Ellice House may have closed but you can google to double check that. Adrenaline is also seasonal and closes between Oct and March. Everything else is open year-round.

    Quite a lot to do. The Castles for sure for me. I enjoy whale watching! I'll be doing one for here in Bar Harbor. Oh the floating shops look cool. Damn that food looks good. Beer! I like the parks. Well done.

    Hey, great video,
    another good thing to do is to go to Dallas Road and walk along the path. Also, another fun thing to do is to rent a scooter from Cycle BC and drive along Dallas Road all the way to Cadboro Bay to get a smoothie or an Americano at Moka. Willow beach and Oak Bay marina are fun as well.

    Excellent list and presentation, I took notes. Also like the more sedate manner in which Mr. Redbeard gave his visual critiques on the various meals. A nod and an occasional thumbs up is all that's needed, none of the typical orgasmic moaning with eyes rolled back. Thanks for vid!

      And is the timing late at night? Most of the stops I've seen have been end of day or later at night... they light up the Victoria Parliament Building and Harbour and there are bars and restaurants in that area... so mainly sightseeing. Unless they offer a specific tour.
