Tofino to Victoria, Vancouver Island
The first part of the journey was along narrow twisty roads (just like NZ) taking in the Sutton Pass, which was a bit wet and damp as in low cloud, so not good for snaps.
Also stopped in Cathederal Grove near Port Alberni, to look at the Giant Red Woods, not easy to photo, but some were ~800 years old.
As seemed to be our luck - arrived at the hotel with two coach loads of cheer leaders - looks like another quiet night!
Bags and all in yet another hotel room and we were off on a walk to down town Victoria. Mum insisted on taking my pic' by a totem pole, I look more like one of the shadows!
Although it was Sunday, it was getting busy because it turns out it is their long weekend and May Day Parade the following day - hence the cheer leaders etc.

Noticed lots of bikers (mainly on Harley Davidsons) but also observed they were in general all around my (grey hair) age!
