Today we will start with coffee at Bean Around the World in Canada’s oldest Chinatown. We start our day with a quick detour to St Andrew’s Cathedral where pilgrims can get a stamp towards their Victoria Camino. Two more stamps will be available on March 25th which can be used towards the Camino Ingles.

By the 3rd day of a long walk, it is natural to feel tired and we will start with a cup of coffee to get us going. Much of the walk today will be along the water taking in some of the best Victoria has to offer. After a stroll through Beacon Hill Park, we will venture into Cook Street Village to the Hidden Gem Treat Shop and Cafe and have our morning coffee before returning along the ocean. 

Our final stop for the day will be at the Penny Farthing Pub in Oak Bay Village for a green beverage or other refreshments.
