Victoria Harbor
Ferries to transport tourists around the harbor

Sea Plane landing on the harbor
Parliament BuildingIt was such a foggy, rainy day on the Olympic Peninsula that we didn't know how to spend the day. When we looked across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and saw that the weather looked better on Vancouver Island, we decided to take the ferry to Victoria.
After being in small towns on Olympic Peninsula, arriving at Victoria Harbour was a pleasant surprise. It was like being transported to Europe. When you arrive in the harbor, you can see the Parliament building and a historic hotel covered with ivy. The big difference in any European city I have visited is the presence of sea planes. The harbor also acts as a runway for the sea planes.
We had a lovely time visiting a pub, strolling along the harbor, and taking a city tour. If you are ever on the Olympic Peninsula, I highly recommend a brief escape to the lovely city of Victoria, BC.
