26. Victoria to Port Alberni

Started the day at the Victoria butterfly garden, only 10 minutes away from my motel. They had an interesting collection of exotic butterflies, parrots and insects. After that, I visited the Goldstream Provincial Park, who got his name of a gold mine near to the river. I hiked to the Visitor Center, the Niagara falls (yes, same name, other dimensions😂) and to an old railway bridge - a lost place without any function anymore. After that, visit of the Malahat Skywalk. It was comparable to the tower at the Saarschleife - same spiral tower, a fantastic view, but this lookout had a slide to leave it :D
After a quick stopp at the Old Market in Coombs, known for its "Goats on the Roof", I visited the MacMillan Provincial Park with a hike at the Cathedral Grove - a forest with enormous big douglas and cedars 🌲🌳 A quick stopp at the "Hole in the Wall" and I finally checked in at Port Alberni in a motel, that reminds me of those motels where killers in crime movies are staying 😳Read more
