Day trip to Victoria

With the first two days used to discover some of Vancouver's choice neighborhoods, I decided to use day three to do a day trip to the capital of British Columbia, Victoria. There are two primary ways to get from Vancouver to Victoria. First, one can drive/bus to Tsawwassen ferry terminal, take a ferry to Schwartz Bay on Vancouver Island, and then drive/bus to Victoria. The other is a 30+ minute sea plane ride from harbor to harbor. Guess which choice I took?

Dinner at Hawksworth

With day 2 of Bartcation 2016 in the books, I decided to turn up the culinary dial again by booking an early reservation at Chef David Hawksworth's restaurant that caries his namesake: Hawksworth. Located on the ground floor of the very chic Rosewood Hotel Georgia, upon walking in I was greeted with the very same ambiance: warm creams of the walls and furniture embraced by the dimly lit glow of a central chandelier, silky window treatments and candle light.
