Another thing you can do around Victoria is drive along the coastline & then up to the Mt Douglas Lookout. It's a great vantage point for overlooking Victoria & over to mainland US & Canada. The drive along the coast in nice, but nothing that spectacular. It is difficult to impress an Aussie with a coastline.
We were able to look north and see where we'll be driving to tomorrow. We're off to Qualicum Beach, half way up Vancouver Island.
Across the water to the South East we could see mainland Washington State with Mt Barker watching us once again.
This is another of Victoria's overrated tourist attractions, Craigdarroch Castle. Sure it's a castle, but having been to Europe & the UK, this one is just a little cottage that isn't that old. We took the photo from out front & didn't bother going in. The write-ups hadn't inspired us at all.
