Victoria
We caught the BC Ferry from Tswassan (Vancouver) to Swartz Bay (Vancouver Island) on Wednesday evening, which took a little over an hour and a half. We then drove the short distance to Victoria stopping along the way to cook dinner, this travelling home thing is great!!
Victoria is a lovely city, full of hanging baskets, old buildings, character and charm.
We booked into the Fort Victoria Camping Ground for four nights. It has it's own train station on the VIA Rail network, we can't seem to leave the trains behind.
We spent our first day in Victoria walking around the city seeing the sights and most importantly 'Mile 0' the end (or start if you prefer) of the Trans-Canada Highway. Although this officially starts up in St John's, Newfoundland, which we didn't get too, we feel we have crossed Canada!
The next day we went on a Whale Watching Tour, apptly named 'The Prince of Whales' and we saw lots of Orca's which was amazing. They were all feeding on the copious amounts of Salmon in the water.
