Postcards From Victoria

Today's post comes my recent travel to the west coast of Canada. These pictures are from the beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. I am back in New York, but I left a little piece of my heart there! It was our second family getaway to Victoria. First time when we were there, Mili was just 2 years old! So this trip was much more relaxed, easy (no diaper bag - yay!!) and fun. This place is beautiful beyond words! The Victoria Harbour is a great place to hang out and people watch. From impromptu road shows to Scottish pipe performance by kilt-wearing artists, to the great views of  Empress Hotel and majestic Parliament Building, it is a fun place for the whole family. The vine colored walls of Empress are just gorgeous! The city  has some breathtaking scenic viewpoints and lookouts with blue pacific ocean calming your soul. Another must-visit place in Victoria is Butchart Gardens. I was blown away by the beauty, serenity and colors of blooms there!


A moment frozen in time: Horse carriage rides are a homage to early 1900s transport system of Victoria. The rides are expensive ($55 for 15 Minutes and $100 for a 30 minute scenic tour) but fun. They have family rides as well as special packages for a romantic tour.

    Great photos, thank you so much for sharing Joyti! I've never been to Victoria and it's one of the places I would love to visit one day. Love your oxfords - I just ordered a pair today from Nordstrom. I have been fixated on owning a pair of oxfords for awhile now.

    I was at Granville Island not long ago and swore that I saw you sitting at a table outside. Since you probably went through Vancouver, maybe that was you after all? Small world.

    It's been awhile since I've been to Victoria but last time I was there, I felt like it was a time warp to a different time and more magical place
