Vancouver Island
The capital of the province British Columbia is Victoria on Vancouver island, the biggest island in Canada's west.
Main attraction is the parliament building (left, behind us) which has been designed by Francis Rattenburry when he was 25 years old. It appears very glamorous in the darkness of the evening when the decoration of 3333 light bulds is activated (right).
Other attractions: left: The Faimont Empress Hotel is also designed by Francis Rattenbury and is located nicely at the habour. right: In the Tunderbird park you can see some totempoles.
In Tofino we participated in a whale watching tour.
In non-photo distance we saw the back of a greywhale. Other animals we could watch: Sealions (above), a seaotter, some dolphines and a bald eagle.
On the Cathedral trail (above) we saw huge giant trees, some of them up to 800 years old.
There are lots of hiking possibilities on Vancouver Island. Above you can see the battleship lake.
