For those who haven't been to Victoria, it's a 1-2 hour ferry ride from the Twawwassen or Horseshoe Bay terminal (Horseshoe Bay ferry goes to Nanaimo; another 1-2 hours away from Victoria). Many people from Vancouver go there during holidays, looking for a period of relaxation.
But just because Victoria can be relaxing doesn't mean that can't be festive as well. I caught up with the Victoria Day parade while I was there:

Victoria is absolutely beautiful and it certainly looks like a "capital" city. Take a trip there sometime!

On a less positive note, right before I was about to cross the Lions Gate Bridge last Monday coming back from my trip, a motorcyclist was killed a few hundred metres in front of me. Let's remind ourselves to please drive safely and not rush...
