| Re: Jillian **Spoilers** ![]() The harbor could be Seattle or Vancouver, but the boat looks like it might be a ferry. I thought their boat ride in Seattle was a sightseeing boat on Lake Union.

| Re: Jillian **Spoilers** Actually, the ferry is needed to go to the park you ad thought about (Butchart Gardens) on Vancouver Island, not in Vancouver. And the ferries that transport you from the mainland (Vancouver) to Vancouver Island don't look like that. |

| Re: Jillian **Spoilers** Vancouver is a wonderful dynamic beautiful city just north of Seattle on the other side of the Canadian border. Just a couple of hours apart, depending on the wait at the border crossing. Buchart Gardens is in Victoria - another exquisite, very English city on Vancouver Island - a very large island off the mainland. Victoria is at the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Thanks snuff a luff Were that a ferry, I would guess a car ferry in Seattle ![]()

Can't resist...take it from BLOOMERS, Buchart Gardens is a masterpiece. Somebody must have dreamed of Heaven when they designed those flower beds and hanging baskets. I have never seen flowers bloom that exquisitely and profusely. Oh, and the ride over was more like on a large speedboat than on a traditional ferry.

eta Someone said they saw a better photo that depicted the name on the ship. That would help if we could find it. I don't think I can post photos but if you google Photos of Canada place - some come up that could be helpful. | |

| Re: Jillian **Spoilers** No, I am from the very hot, sunny, frequently arid Deep South. However, I love to grow flowers even under those difficult conditions! We were going on an Alaskan cruise which for all practical purposes actually began in Vancouver. There was no way that I was going to miss a trip to the Buchart Gardens, so we scheduled time to get there early, and we made the trip over on a ferry ( which wasn't what I expected - more like a very large, fast speedboat). It was absolutely well worth every moment and dollar! If I lived in the Washington state area, I would have to schedule a trip every few years!!
