Days 6-8: Victoria
Ferries are a way of life for those who live in the Pacific Northwest and lower BC. But for someone like me, driving my car onto a hugnormous ferry was being like a kid in a candy store. I suppose its old news to the regular commuter, but I enjoyed it. Its about an hour and a half ferry ride to get from Vancouver to Victoria and I walked around the ship the whole time. And the ride was beautiful.
Victoria is the provincial capital of British Columbia and I would say it still has quite a British influence. The main government buildings are situated along a harbor, which makes for a beautiful and touristy scene.
I stayed with a friend I used to work with at The Grove Consultants International, Christina Merkeley, who has begun her own practice, Make Your Mark. Christina was a great host, showing me all over Victoria and introducing me to some other Canadian friends. That’s the kind of travel I enjoy, hanging out with some locals to get the real feel of a place.
