Here's a pleasant day trip we took yesterday. We traveled from Victoria to Brentwood Bay in Saanich and took a small car ferry across Saanich Inlet to Mill Bay. Then we drove to Chemainus to see the "world famous" murals and have lunch. After that we headed back to Victoria on the Malahat Highway stopping briefly to have a look at the amazing Kinsol Trestle.
Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities. Click the photos to see them larger!
