Vancouver Island - Victoria

Dienstag, 28.06.2016

After walking with all my stuff from the Hostel in Vancouver to the Skytrain, then to bus and then finally to the ferry station I had a really nice ferry trip. From Vancouver to Victoria it takes you about 1.5 hours and you pass a lot of little and beautiful islands! All together it took me forever to get to the Hostel in Victoria, I arrived in the early evening. After a short walk and grab something to eat I went to bed pretty early. The next day started with a little sightseeing tour around downtown and the harbour. Victoria is such a nice little city!

On my first day in the evening I bought a bicycle in Victoria! 50$ for a nice mountain bike! Awesome deal! I'm sure the bike is not the best one but it works and thats perfect!

On Wednesday the Hostel organized a trip to Mount Douglas which was more a walking tour than a hiking tour but it was funny to meet all the other people from the Hostel and we had a great view from the top!

Actually, when I arrived in Victoria I was planning to stay there for 3 days... Well I ended up spending a whole week there because it was so nice! The Hostel was great and especially the people there were awesome!
We spent one day in the Butcharts Garden, which is really big and nice.
