Our trip to Vancouver Island wouldn't have been complete without a few days in the capital city of British Columbia, so we found ourselves a modest but pleasant hotel right on the harbour.
Victoria was almost more like an English city than a Canadian one, with impressive architecture, beautiful gardens, and an excellent museum. For a city though, Victoria was very laid-back and easy-going - so maybe not at all like a British city!
The highlight for us was a visit to the magnificent Butchard Gardens, where we spent a whole day admiring the flowers, the fountains and the sea views.
Victoria was an easy place to wander the streets just people watching and admiring the colonial buildings, and the sunny but cooler weather helped with this activity.
Western Canada has been brilliant, and we had chance to enjoy the fabulous coastal scenery all over again from the top deck of the ferry as we began our journey to Alaska.
