Travel Guide

Vancouver Island

If you havent’ been to this island before or even heard of it, get this on your radar now. Hands down, one of the most stunning places I have ever visited/Susan

In this book, Bill discovers why Vancouver Island has become one of western North America’s top tourist destinations. From great food to wonderful wine, stunning natural habitats and memorable encounters with wildlife, Bill paints a charming picture of life on Canada’s West Coast.

Victoria )Capital_

“Driving leisurely into Victoria, we take time to suss out the area. The European-settled city, dating back to the 1840s, is one of the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. We navigate one-way streets through downtown and dawdle along in light traffic past the landmark Parliament Buildings and Legisla-
tive Assembly, the sea ever present, peeking around buildings and trees. Between boat traffic, float planes, tour providers and ferries, the harbour is one of North America’s busiest.”

Newcastle island

“Two compact islands, Newcastle and Protection, sit just off Nanaimo’s downtown. As the name of the first denotes, coal was the primary resource industry, drawing workers with much the same zeal as a gold rush. Seams of coal still run through the area, and an underground shaft connected Newcastle Island to the centre of town.”
