Vancouver Island

We kind of ran out of time to really explore Vancouver Island – it’s about the size of England, but we did manage to get to Victoria. Victoria is on the southern tip of the island - the ferry crossing in itself probably makes the trip worth while as it navigates between the many tiny islands on its way. Victoria is supposedly the closest thing to an English town in Canada. We kind of struggled to see the similarities, but did find a few English pubs that served Guinness which of course is Irish. The museum in Victoria was definitely worth the visit so was Craig Darroch castle but that was about it. As ever the Canadians here were super friendly and we hooked up with two couples sitting next to us at a Restaurant and went on to a bar, at which they paid for all the cocktails for the evening – thanks!!
