WEDNESDAY 3RD – VICTORIA

Note the sunshine in the photos today. We woke this morning at our idyllic lake side campsite to the sound of no rain on the roof.

We made our way to Tswassen on the mainland where we boarded a ferry for Swarz Bay on Vancouver Island. We are now very comfortably located at the nearest RV park to downtown Victoria being the RV park located within Westbay Marine village on the other side of the harbour. 

Our view this evening is not of an idyllic lake. It is of a group of floating homes located just behind us - a rather novel residential arrangement. It reminds us of the park we stayed in at Venice, similarly located across a body of water from the main action and accessible by ferry. 

We did the three kilometre harbour side walk to town this afternoon and entertained ourselves for several hours. Having now obtained an understanding of the geography of Victoria, we will give it a more thorough going over tomorrow.

We plan on staying here tomorrow night and then heading north to explore the rest of the island. It looks to have plenty of spectacular scenery.
