Tonight we went on a Ghostly Bus Tour which was a fund raiser to the Old Cemeteries Society. Our leader and knowledgeable story teller was John Adams. I learned so many things about this City. We just toured Oak Bay and Victoria and heard many credible stories. We started in Oak Bay and got out at the Royal Victoria Golf Course 7th fairway to look for Doris in her pink outfit. Never saw her but I sure felt the high energy at this site. We finished at the spooky Christ Church Cathedral where there are 1300 bodies buried in Pioneer Square (the original graveyard for Victoria). I highly recommend John's Tours. See his web site at Discover the Past. It was very well done..Thanks John! For more pictures check out our Facebook Page.
Tonight we attended a familiarization tour at Nautical Nellies Steak and Seafood Restaurant. This is truly one of the best restaurants in Victoria and well worth a visit. They strive to be different and do it their way and this is reflected in the amazing food seen above and in the service, friendly staff, and great ambiance at this downtown Victoria Restaurant. We urge you to give it a try.
Are you looking for a great place to eat? Why not try Swans Brewpub at 506 Pandora, just a hop skip and jump from the Blue Bridge. The pub has great food and good ambiance. The pub has lots of seating in an open air patio, where you can enjoy the sun and the great flower displays in the spring and summer. The heritage hotel looks very cool and the pub has lots of stunning original artwork and First Nation's Carvings. It is just a really neat place to go for a beer and some really good food. Check it out. They also serve good breakfast. 
Victoria is the most haunted city in British Columbia and many visitors come to experience haunted holidays. Ghostly Walks are popular walking tours in downtown Victoria throughout the year, but at Halloween the Ghostly Walks team, in conjunction with the Old Cemeteries Society, conducts Ghost Bus-tours. Now in their eighteenth year, Ghost Bus-tours are two-hour excursions in the luxury of a modern coach. The routes are different each year and are kept secret until the tours begin. Ghost Bus-tours glide through Victoria’s heritage neighbourhoods and into the suburbs to explore the city’s most haunted places. New stories are added each year, but by popular demand the favourites from past years are always included. One of the locations that has become an annual tradition is the Victoria Golf Course where the ghost of Doris Gravlin, murdered there by her husband in 1936, is frequently seen. John Adams, well-known historian and ghost storyteller, is the host for Ghost Bus-tours. Proceeds from Ghost Bus-tours assist the restoration and education programs of the Old Cemeteries Society.
