Victoria, BC
Victoria sits on the southern tip of Vancouver Island,
153 miles north of Seattle. There is regular train and ferry
service between the two cities, and a visit from one to the
other is a nice day trip. At one time, Americans and Canadians
could cross the border freely, needing only a drivers license or
other form of picture ID. Today a passport is required. There
are less than 100,000 people in Victoria, which holds about a
third of the population of the area. It is the center of
government, of BC, and is one of Canada's major ports. It has
become a very popular cruise ship destination, for reasons which
are obvious from the photos below. It is isolated, to a certain
extent, from the rest of Canada, and it is actually easer to get
to the United States, from Victoria, than to get to the rest of
Canada. |
