Fisgard Lighthouse

Today was our last day on V.I. We had the morning in Victoria to check out Fisgard Lighthouse before an afternoon flight back to Calgary.

The Fisgard Lighthouse site is situated about 20 mins drive west of Victoria Harbour. It isn't just a lighthouse, itis also an historical site containing WWII battlements.
There's plenty of war memorabilia around the site.
The views from some of the bunkers and battlements are fantastic.
The lighthouse sits out on a peninsular separated from the military buildings.
Fisgard Lighthouse is well worth checking out if you are in Victoria.
We were able to get a direct flight from V.I. to Calgary, so there was no annoying stop over in Vancouver. The afternoon was clear so we were able to get a great look at the mountains all the way. Mt Barker was still watching us (pictured above).
