A perfect day to have a deserved rest and to update my blog.
Speaking of Victoria Day, it’s a good occasion to relate the afternoon I spent in Victoria (Vancouver Island) last month during Alexandra’s visit.
First of all, we arrived just in time for the departure at Tsawwassen Bay after running against the clock! The ferry trip passed smoothly even though we almost lost patience in the line-up to buy breakfast
.
After about an hour and half and a few extra kilometers by car, we arrived in Victoria.
That day the sun had decided to play hide and seek with the clouds, but the weather did not prevented us from making great discoveries.
Several elements give this city a unique character: It’s a very nice town with an architecture similar to Old Quebec, the Parliament of Victoria is definitely one of the most beautiful (and larger) that I had the opportunity to see, the world’s smallest shopping Street?(Alex’s must-see), Victoria’s Chinatown which is small and but recognized as the oldest in Canada.
We definitely had a beautiful time even if we felt the fatigue from the previous three days of camping. We didn’t had the opportunity to visit any gardens, parks and museums. I will probably return this summer for a more detailed visit of Victoria, Nanaimo and Tofino (another must-do in BC).
