Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Beautiful ocean and mountain scenery. Fabulous views of Mt Baker in Washington state and the Olympic mountains. Buchart gardens are stunning, along with Victoria’s inner harbour that overlook the legislative buildings and fisherman’s Warf. Tired of being on land, take a whale watching tour. There’s so much to see and do here. Our Island is large, nearly 8 hours drive from the north to south. A short drive north of Victoria takes you to wineries, a little further is an 800 year old forest with gigantic trees and places to hike.
