Day 29: August 6, 2008 Victoria (BC)
Victoria was one of the most pleasant surprises of the trip. I was captivated by its charm, its century-old architecture, its vineyards, and its harbor. The downtown area buzzes with activity without ever feeling too noisy or overwhelming.
However, it is not a city that seems to encourage motorcycle travel. I had the “luck” of receiving a ticket for parking at the end of a street, facing a car. I do this everywhere else in the world without any issues, likely because it doesn’t bother anyone… except here.
We spent two lovely days playing the perfect tourists, crisscrossing the streets and taking countless photos. It’s certainly nice to slow down the pace every once in a while!
