The most interesting thing at the site for me however was going into the air raid shelters. Tiny little passage ways, no ventilation it was so hot I think I would have taken my chances outside😄. Here is the memorial up close: Edited October 22, 2020 by ilikeanswers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right Uncle Les, you are entitled to a free tour of Greater Victoria including a B52 Breakfast at Spitfire Grill, the only catch is you are responsible for getting here😁. By the way we have 2 craft cideries close by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
