Victoria or Vancouver island

The post title will depend on who is reading it. Anyway a good deal is the city of the flowers :-)

Just after one and half hour from Vancouver by taking a ferry at Tsawwassen and arriving at Swartz.

Then a 2 floor bus to downtown

With Parliament building whose inside visit is only at weekdays.

The city is also friendly with bicycles.

The narrowest street ...

... that leads to the oldest ChinaTown... in Canada :-)

Taste some tea at Empress hotel if reservation was made :-( after all it is BC

A member of Canadian team playing/praying

with solution at hand :-)

A piece of the Heaven on Earth


Wrong answer !!! it is not blondies drinking white wine :-)  but I have found it on the way to Vancouver :-)

Unfortunately I could not stay there anymore because the book is still on the table

and the seabus is going ...

...  to let me at North Vancouver suburb

 where I will keep trying to survive in this wild land :-)

By the way my choice was number 4

Letting Toronto behind...

...just after tasting the soup of the day

also after passing by Casa Loma

and inside it


Sailing.... not to Philadelphia :-) but at lake Ontario


to take picture of CN Tower


and from it also :-)

And the book remains on the table...

... while the solution is on the street...

... no matter how the weather is or how nervous the solution is :-)

Niagara falls


seen from the Canadian side :-)
Also take a look at USA side


There are day trip tour options from Toronto but I recommend a weekend staying at Niagara Falls for two reasons.
First: it is a laid-back way of visiting it so you can take a train from Toronto and 2 hours after here you are :-)

with enough time to taste some kind of beers :-)


Also I recommend double-deck bus

because beyond turning around some queues you can see the falls behind them :-)
Cross a lake at a cable car

get the camera wet

Second and most important: you can taste Niagara wine while looking at the falls :-)
