330 Quebec Street Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, V8V 1W3, 250-381-3456
Yesterday we left Vancouver from Horseshoe Bay and took the ferry to Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. It was a breezy trip - the only rocking and rolling coming from the engines. It was one of the largest double ended ferries in the world that took us across there, and we were amazed at the turn around time in docking, unloading and loading up again - 15 mins to unload and 15 mins to get hundreds of cars trucks and buses on board.
Nanaimo wasn't a lot to look at - a larger version of Pic...

... Country in between Vernon and Kelowna in the Okanagan Valley. It was a perfect road trip - music from my Zune loud and clear, dry, uncrowded roads, supreme, constantly changing scenery.<br>I love BC! Every time I drive through it I'm reminded that it's the most beautiful place in the world.<br>
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada hilaryford... read the road signs, "what do you means its one way??". However the fantastic wine shops almost made up for the signage. Ottawa is a great city, but you would expect that as its full of politicians who have ensured that alot of money is spent there. The Thousand Islands on the St Lawrence is very nice, although we lucked out finding a waterfront campsite that wasn't crowded.<br>The trip around the top of Lake Superior was ...
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada brentandjo... gave a study in symmetrical shades of blue. We could see across to Mount Arrowsmith. On a day like that, so bright and clear, with a high enough vantage point it felt like we could have seen forever.<br><br>We returned to Cathedral Grove, taking a different trail. This led us through more verdant forest, past 800 year old cedars. What astounding changes these timeless trees have seen, the tearing down of an ...
Sooke, British Columbia, Canada fyrelizard... vid dörren o han satte sig mitt i och först när jag var fastspänd och satt safe n sound så sa han att "jag sitter här för här är det bättre utsikt". !!!<br><br>I could have killed him!!!<br><br>Min första flygtur o karln bara göttar runt o KOMMUNICERAR INTE!!! <br><br> Så, så blev vår tur. Jag satt själv i bak och han satt lite längre fram på andra sidan och hade bättre utsikt. Även om vi var själva i planet vågade jag inte flytta mig innan vi lyft, jag var så nöjd ...
Friday Harbor, Washington, United States josma... up to the stables. <br><br>The lady running the stables was very friendly, if a little scatty. It took us an hour to get the horses ready, us ready and us sitting on the horses. We decided to just go for an hour’s ridde as budgets were tight, which meant we couldonly really go so far, and while it was a nice trail, half of it was alongside a (quiet) road. And we walked, the whole way, which was a bit disappointing. BUT when I got back, she said I could go for a trot around the ...
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada sarahxVictoria, im südosten auf vancouver island, wirkt auf den ersten blick wie eine grosstadt, ist aber keine. so konnte ich mein laufpensum etwas drosseln und stattdessen meine aufenthaltszeit in den bars etwas erhöhen. wollte eigentlich nur 3 tage bleiben, daraus wurden schlussendlich 6.<br><br>im ocean island backpacker gibt's 'ne supercoole bar, die auch sehr günstig thai curry serviert. dieses hatte ich schnell mal zu meinem gesunden und erschwinglichen standard-menu erkoren ...
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada scher-airMy flight from Bangkok left at 00:35. It got to Seoul around 08:00. I spent the rest of the day sleeping and surfing the web at the airport. My flight to Seattle left after 18:00. The flight was uneventful. I flew to Seattle because it was quite a bit cheaper than flying to Vancouver. When I got to Seattle everything was good until I picked my bags up. It took forever to get out ...
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada kiki1975... to us! Enjoyed a couple of days sunbathing by Thetis Lake, exploring Victoria and dodging Bears!! Victoria is a beautiful harbour city with lots interesting art work and Native American influence. I would love to dedicate some more time to this island in the future, having only scratched to surface with our visit it would be nice to do justice to the depths of history and culture of this island.
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada benandchris... I can afford it. Nick laughed when I told him that. I met the owners..twice. They sell "craft stuff" out of their garage in addition to the "rights" to their designs they've sold to a major international distributor. I'm not giving any more details as I want a peaceful hide-away. You can't forget that my dream girl is a famous actress. She'll want her privacy. In conversation with the owners I find out their son is doing his basic military training and will be posted ...
