Victoria Travel Guide - Canada Happy Moments
Victoria is the capital of the province of British Columbia, Canada. It is located near the southern tip of Vancouver Island. It is a medium sized and beautiful city. Nicknamed the Garden City for Butchart Gardens and much green space. It is also said to lie within the world's most northern Mediterranean climate. Victoria has long traded on its British affiliations. But while the fish-and-chips remain first-class and summer cricket games still enliven Beacon Hill Park, the days when Victoria was more British than Britain are long gone. In Victoria 2.0, the food culture embraces fusion, the beer leans toward craft brews and the abundance of bicycles seems to have more in common with Holland than England.
Compared to the glassy skyscrapers of Vancouver, Victoria is more laid-back and low-rise. On balmy summer days, a distinct holiday atmosphere takes over as people pile off the ferries to escape the mayhem of the mainland and forget work. Sure, Victoria might have become trendier and more sophisticated in recent years but, in pace and essence, it remains comfortingly old-fashioned.
Walking is an easy, free, and fun way to explore the entire downtown area. Make your way from hotel to museum to shops; stop for coffee; stroll along the harborside; grab a pint and some fish-n-chips. Rental Cars are available for those who need them. There are seven different car rental locations in Victoria. All major companies such as Avis, Hertz, Budget, and Enterprise, are available. Biking Victoria is one of the most bike-friendly cities in Canada, which may have something to do with the very mild winters. There are many places to rent bikes.
Victoria has the second-highest number of restaurants per capita of all North American cities! The waterfront tourist area is home to a wide variety of restaurants and eateries, including several English-style pubs. Try the fish and chips or shepherds pie for a taste of England in Canada. For a more eclectic Victoria experience, check out the classy restaurants that surround Chinatown, offering interesting west-coast fusion and asian dishes.
There are a number of areas to stay in Victoria with the most popular location being downtown. Other options include Sidney, the West Shore and the Upper Harbour district. The Upper Harbour district is gaining in popularity for its close proximity to downtown, quiet environment, and typically, the most value oriented accommodation in the city with the lowest nightly room rates.
Named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and, at the time, British North America, Victoria is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, with British settlement beginning in 1843. The city has retained a large number of its historic buildings, in particular its two most famous landmarks, Parliament Buildings (finished in 1897 and home of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia) and the Empress hotel (opened in 1908). The city's Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's. The region's Coast Salish First Nations peoples established communities in the area long before non-native settlement, possibly several thousand years earlier, which had large populations at the time of European exploration. Known as The Garden City, Victoria is an attractive city and a popular tourism destination with a thriving technology sector that has risen to be its largest revenue-generating private industry. Victoria is in the top twenty of world cities for quality-of-life, according to Numbeo.

SOOKEPOINT at Silver Spray: Oceanfront Cottages, Vancouver Island, B.C.
SookePoint Ocean Cottages are like Luxury Yachts on the extreme SW Tip of Canada, within Greater Victoria on Vancouver Island. This exceptional peninsula has 2,850 feet of surf and sunset oceanfront, and huge wrap-around views to the east, south and west.
The solid rock foreshore rises 65 feet above the sea, offering natural tsunami protection and 'incomparable oceanfront setting and views'. The lush shoreline of the adjacent Wilderness Park extends as far as the eye can see, preserving 10 km of south facing virgin oceanfront, pristine pocket beaches, abundant tidal pools, a large pelagic cormorant roost, ancient native petroglyphs and 50 km of nature trails winding through a temperate rainforest that is three and a half times larger than Vancouver's Stanley Park.
At over 3,500-acres, this the largest waterfront park in the Victoria Capital Regional District. Tourism BC advertises the 6 hour one-way hike along its scenic 'Coast Trail' as 'one of the premier day hikes in Canada'.
The waters surrounding SookePoint (aka Possession Point) offer world-class salmon fishing, whale watching, boating, kayaking and sailing. The Cousteau Society has rated the crystal clear water 'excellent' for diving. You can see how clear the water is by viewing the video of orcas swimming right below the Show Cottage at SookePoint.com.
A true sanctuary, on a cloverleaf peninsula at the end of a country road, it's under an hour to all Victoria's old world charm, the international airport and ferry terminals, and half that to shopping centres, championship golf courses, hospitals, restaurants and theatres.

Driving Downtown - Silver Spring 4K - Maryland USA
Driving Downtown - Silver Springs Maryland USA - Episode 31.
Starting Point: Georgia Avenue - .
Silver Spring is an unincorporated area, City, and census-designated place (CDP) in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. It had a population of 76,716 according to 2013 estimates by the United States Census Bureau, making it the fourth most populous place in Maryland, after Baltimore, Columbia, and Germantown.[2]
The urbanized, oldest, and southernmost part of Silver Spring is a major business hub that lies at the north apex of Washington, D.C. As of 2004, the Central Business District (CBD) held 7,254,729 square feet (673,986 m2) of office space, 5216 dwelling units and 17.6 acres (71,000 m2) of parkland. The population density of this CBD area of Silver Spring was 15,600 per square mile all within 360 acres (1.5 km2) and approximately 2.5 square miles (6 km2) in the CBD/downtown area.[3] The community has recently undergone a significant renaissance, with the addition of major retail, residential, and office developments.
Silver Spring takes its name from a mica-flecked spring discovered there in 1840 by Francis Preston Blair, who subsequently bought much of the surrounding land. Acorn Park, tucked away in an area of south Silver Spring away from the main downtown area, is believed to be the site of the original spring.
Twenty-first century
At the beginning of the 21st century, downtown Silver Spring began to see the results of redevelopment. Several city blocks near City Place Mall were completely reconstructed to accommodate a new outdoor shopping plaza called Downtown Silver Spring. New shops included national retail chains such as Whole Foods Market, a 20-screen Regal Theatres, Men's Wearhouse, Ann Taylor Loft, DSW Shoe Warehouse, Office Depot, and the now-closed Pier 1 Imports, as well as many restaurants, including Panera Bread, Red Lobster, Cold Stone Creamery, Fuddruckers, Potbelly Sandwich Works, Nando's Peri-Peri, and Chick-fil-a. A Borders book store was a popular spot until it closed when the chain went out of business; it was replaced by H&M. In addition to these chains, Downtown Silver Spring is home to a wide variety of family-owned restaurants representing its vast ethnic diversity. As downtown Silver Spring revived, its 160-year history was celebrated in a PBS documentary entitled Silver Spring: Story of an American Suburb, released in 2002.[28] In 2003, Discovery Communications completed the construction of its headquarters and relocated to downtown Silver Spring from nearby Bethesda. The same year also brought the reopening of the Silver Theatre, as AFI Silver, under the auspices of the American Film Institute. Development continues with the opening of new office buildings, condos, stores, and restaurants. In 2015-16, the long-struggling City Place Mall underwent a complete renovation, had its name changed to Ellsworth Place, and brought in new tenants, including TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less (a re-opening original tenant), Michaels, Forever 21, and Dave & Buster's. The restoration of the old B&O Passenger Station was undertaken between 2000 and 2002, as recorded in the documentary film Next Stop: Silver Spring.[29][30] In 2005 Downtown Silver Spring was awarded the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence silver medal.

- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
