Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

The sea was turbulent after we left Ketchikan. After a disturbing night, we arrived Victoria safely the next day. It was a beautiful day, a nice cold afternoon infact. We were so lucky. It was just so timely that we arrived Victoria, British Columbia on July 1st, when Canadians were celebrating their Canada Day. How fortunate to have participated in their celebration.

Welcome to Victoria, Canada!

We're in Canada.

While a lot of tourists took the trolley or go on a bus for sightseeing excursion, we opted to walk on foot to the town center guided by a map.

I was glad to have taken a photo of this beautiful vine covered walk way. By the way, that was Lucas back walking under the vines. Hehehe.

Took pictures of beautiful houses and gardens.....

My dream house and garden. Hehe.

 

We finally reached the Parliament Building.

Canada Day was very festive and merry in Victoria.

We mingled in with the celebration.

The marina, the huge pine tree, the totem pole and the parliament building behind us. Such nice view.

Ate supper at a nice cozy restaurant. I ordered pizza and classic coke. Hehehe.

In front of the restaurant, festive atmosphere all over.

Got to walk back, the boat will be leaving at 11:30pm. Fireworks started at 10pm. Walking down the street, we enjoyed being part of the street party. Unfortunately my camera could not capture the night scenes. I loved the festivities in Victoria.

Arriving port on foot.

What a wonderful day. Happy Canada Day!
