When to go to Victoria (BC)?
A certain British inheritance survives in Victoria: afternoon tea, hanging flower baskets and the Parliament Buildings outlined in lights above the Inner Harbour. Floatplanes and sailing boats come and go from the quay, and whale-watching boats head out for orcas and humpbacks. Butchart Gardens, a worked-out quarry replanted into terraces and borders, changes colour with the season.
