After several weeks in the bush, we decided it was time to
reintroduce ourselves to civilization. And no place in the west is
quite as civilized as Victoria. With its bustling waterfront
and rich native
heritage, Vancouver is home to many gardens including a conservatory with
many species of exotic flora and fauna. After a good dinner, we
declared our day in the city a success. We were then ready to hit the trail again the
following day.
The Juan
de Fuca trail spans the southwest shore of the island. It takes
several days and a ride at each end to hike the whole trail. We did a
days worth along the trail hiking through the rainforest to emerge onto beaches with
hidden grottoes.
Altough beautiful, the Pacific Coast of Vancouver Island was
a bit too damp for us, so we moved northward and inland.
