The Temple in Victoria is a great restaurant. Both the service and the food were exemplary.

Your visit to Vancouver must include a baseball game. During a summer evening, there are no better places to be than the Nat Bailey Stadium. Located in the heart of the city, it is very easy to go there using the transit system. The local team, the Vancouver Canadians, is the farm team of the Oakland A's. Don't miss your chance to see the stars of tomorrow. You will also enjoy the view that will be able to have there. The stadium is located next to the Queen Elizabeth Park, definitly one of the most beautiful place in Vancouver. It is also the highest place in the city. From there, you will be able to see Downtown Vancouver and the north shore mountains. Don't forget to be at the stadium earlier than the beginning of the game if you want to enjoy the view.
SEE YOU AT THE NAT!!

The best time we had on our holiday was our stay in Ucluelet.
We stayed about one week there and went fishing with the Fishmyster. In a matter of hours we caught our limit. We could not believe how friendly everyone was in Ucluelet. Both my husband and I do not like big tourist areas congested with tons of people we like the off the beaten track places and so far Ucluelet is the place to go. It did not matter whether we bought groceries or strolled along the piers....everyone was friendly, helpful and just a delight to visit with. Because of how we were treated we are coming back again this summer for more fishing and relaxing. |

Clinton, Guest Ranches & Horseback Riding

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful 2-week vacation during the summer, 2005, touring your beautiful province. We did the Cariboo Trail and as part of it we passed through Clinton. This is where we had our great find, but it involved your people more than the beauty of the province. We stopped at a hot dog stand in the middle of the small town. Two very nice women waited on us and afterward we sat at the picnic tables outside. After leaving and halfway to Lillouet, my wife realized that she had left her purse at the hot dog stand. Panic ensued and we raced back to Clinton, expecting the worse. Instead those women saved our vacation and gave us one of the best experiences of our trip, just humbling us with their kindness. When we arrived back, they were waiting for us with my wife's purse! We thanked them and they responded that it was just the right thing to do. This was the best find of our wonderful vacation in Bristish Columbia. Sincerely, Jim and Debbie Sfiridis, Farmington, Connecticut, USA

One of our greatest pleasures in visiting Vancouver is seeing bald eagles in flight, especially in a city environment.
This photo was taken from the English Bay sea-wall next to Stanley Park in January 2007.

My husband and I visited British Columbia in the fall of 2005. We were totally mesmerized by all the attractions we enjoyed. A most memorable one was visiting Chinatown in Vancouver. It is so interesting to look in on cultures other than our own. The shops were so different and especially the Tibetan store where we experienced the "singing bowls". The storekeepers were so friendly and helpful and let us try out numerous ones. Also in the same shop we could not resist the hand crafted Tibetan jewellery that has so many hidden meanings. It was indeed a very pleasurable experience and one that we would love to repeat in the very near future.

During our vacation visit to BC in the summer of 2005, we found a wonderfful place to visit just accross a water them Park near Bridal Veil Falls.
We had just droped off our kids for their fun in the water whereafter my wife (Eva) and I crossed the highway to check out the a Garden Park we were told about.
Upon our arrival we were fasinated to discover such a well mainatain Garden Park. The Name of this wonderful theme Garden is "Minter Gardens" it features 11 themed gardens which dazzle our senses with massive displays of colour and fragrance. We spent all morning and into the afternoon walking thorughout the facility thoroughly enjoying the sences, smells and sounds of this Heavenly Place!
We would encourage anyone just leaving Chilliwack or just about to arrive there to pull off and take the time to visit this place. It will be pleasent memory for all!
We have choosen one photo we took of the Rose Garden (though there were many others we could have choosen) for your viewing pleasure.
Thank you for the chance to share our experince with this discovery we made in BC.

Stewart, Sightseeing Tours
View a larger image on flickr.com
The towns of Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, AK
share an international border and are a study
in contrasts. Stewart is a tidy Canadian town
surrounded by magnificent scenery. The near ghost town of Hyder shares the same incredible scenery but has a decidedly rowdy Alaskan flair to it. These towns are undiscovered treasures not overrun by cruise ship - tour bus tourists. The intrepid traveler can experience majestic scenery and interesting local culture without being a part of the tourist hubbub of more visited locales such as Prince Rupert or Juneau. The area's scenery rivals the Inside Passage and yet its visitor count is not high. The Stewart Highway is a must drive for visitors to NW B.C.
