I agree!! I am not far from Victoria either, and LOVE the city. I go there often for a mini staycation since I have accomodations there! It is also my birth town, as well as my dad's and my grandmother's! It holds a special place in my heart

Oh this wakes wonderful memories of when I was in Victoria about 10 years ago. I loved Butchart gardens- but I have been there earlier in the year so there is a wonderful note of autumn in the air now in your pictures.
And I remember Craigdarroch castle- more medieval than the middle ages ever were

I never saw the parliament building with all the lights- I wonder whether they did that ten years ago- it looks fantastic.
What I remember very well is the Royal BC museum which I loved.

Victoria is a wonderful place.

Oh boy Cindy, that is definitely the era I would love to have lived! I love the architecture, the clothes, the manner, everything! And castles yet! You did a wonderful job at taking pix, too, better than any I could've taken. It looks like you had a wonderful vacation and on a motorcycle yet. How lucky can a gal get?!

I am so impressed with this trip, I don't know what to say!! Awesome pictures. How romantic was this adventure? So cool. You are a very lucky girl. Your husband must be a wonderful guy. I think it's really good that you took so many pictures. You'll never forget it.
