Victoria – Galiano Island
I don’t know where to begin. I spent the weekend camping in Montague Harbour on Galiano Island, one of the Gulf Islands off of British Columbia. We caught the ferry at around 2 in the afternoon from Swartz Bay, it…
Victoria – How you can sun yourself on two beaches, walk through the rainforest, and swim in the ocean, all in one day.
