Once wew were finished in Vancouver we left and headed south west to the Tsawwassen port 45minutes from Vancouver and ferry took us across to Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island. the crossing was lovely. You could see magnificant houses as we got closer to the shore, some looked like they were engulfed by the forest and were pretty impresive!When we arrived we drove down to Victoria where we were to stay for our tiem on Vancouver Island. 

I have to say place was my davourite of all the places that we visited. If I had to shoose to live in one of them then this is where i would be calling home.Every person i talked to was so nice, friendly and helpful. 

After scouting out the town as usual we went wandering about looking at the stalls on the water frount selling jewerley and so on and we returned to the witness the Legislative building being lit up, supposedly by 3300 light bulbs.its reflestions alone were beautiful the crossing to vancouver island

We went and rented bikes again and saw what we hadnt seen by walking. we took the route around the water front and out by Beacon head.It was overcast but rather humid but we survived it none the less. We then paid a visit to the most magnificant gardens i have ever seen...Butchart Gardens, supposedly is one of the top visited attraction in Canada, in saying that i can truely see why!! It celebrated its hundrth anniversary a few years ago and has approximately 55acres of gardens....words cant describ it and pictures wont do it any justice..what a heavenly place. Victoria really made an impression on both Emily and I and so when it came time for us to leave we were sad to go but it had to be done. We caught the ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles in Washington and so began our trip back down south to California.
