Read More...Hello Joyce and Ron, we enjoyed your big house and the different terraces. Special is the roof terrace with its beautiful view of the bay and in the distance the snowy peaks of the Rockey Mountains. With the car we made beautiful trips to Victoria, the rainforest and the beautiful coasts on the ocean. The black bear seen along the side of the road to Port Hardy. All in all a very successful exchange.
