Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia Nursery (Photo’s)


On our trip to Nanaimo, B.C. we stopped by one of the local nurseries, where I took some photos of a few of the many types of flowers that they carried.

Royal B.C. Museum Vancouver Island Victoria British Columbia (Animal Exhibit – Photos)


On one of our trips to Vancouver Island, B.C., we stopped in Nanaimo and picked up my son and headed to Victoria.

It was a beautiful day and the drive to Victoria was a nice one at that. 

When we arrived in Victoria, we did some looking around, and then made a stop at the Royal B.C. Museum and it was awesome. 

The exhibits were wonderful and a lot of credit goes to the staff for putting it all together.

This here part of the trip was especially nice for my wife as she worked at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart, Australia.

I took a bunch of photos and have them below for you to look at.

Our Trip To Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia On The BC Ferries (Photos)


It was time for a holiday, so my wife and I packed the Jeep and headed off to visit my son in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island here in British Columbia. 

To get to Nanaimo, you have to take the British Columbia Ferry from West Vancouver, leaving from Horseshoe Bay and you arrive at Departure Bay which is a bay in central Nanaimo.

I took a number of pictures from the Ferry and have them posted below.

You can visit the British Columbia Ferries website to make your reservation.
