I had the pleasure last week of dining at Vista 18, a restaurant that sits atop the Chateau Victoria and offers splendid views in all directions, as well as delicious food. The view above is facing west towards the Metchosin Hills with Sooke beyond. The Legislative Assembly Buildings are on the left, some of the Fairmont Empress Hotel in the center and a bit of the Inner Harbour visible on the right. Click on the photo if you want to see the large panorama (3000 pixels wide) and scroll around in Victoria's skyline. There are also some nice views if one looks down instead of out such as Saint Saviour's Church (right) nestled between some of the newer highrise hotels and condominiums. The Vista 18 Restaurant used to be called The Parrot House and thereby hangs a tale...(Click here if you want to know why it was called The Parrot House.) |

That's an amazing view!
For some reason the photo is not showing for me. Will check back later.
I am going to check tomorrow as it is not loading for me today. Not sure why.
Thanks, William K for your comment.
@Stephanie - thanks for checking this and for your persistence. It loads OK for me so I suspect the problem is with blogspot.com.
Gorgeous views. I can finally see this one and the next post photo.
