Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

So if you haven't been to Vancouver Island, you need to go! There is an amazing culture and history to be experienced there. One of the most famous attractions is the Empress Hotel. Make sure you stop by the registration desk and ask about the free tours they offer on a daily basis.


Among the many restaurants around the City of Victoria is Red Fish Blue Fish and Il Terrazzo Ristorante. After eating your delicious meal at either of these two places, you can take a stroll down the Victoria Harbor Sea Walk which is just absolutely wonderful. Feel the breeze, take your time, take some pictures, sit and take it all in. When you are done with your leisurely walk around the Harbor, you can head into town. Around town, there are shops to roam and sidewalk painters and jugglers to see.


One attraction you must see while you are visiting the Island is the Buchart Gardens. It is breathtakingly gorgeous! Ever since I went, I am constantly trying to come up with excuses to travel up there again just so I can enter the wonderful realm of the Buchart Gardens once more and take in the extravagant beauty.
