Time Lapse: Journey to the Pacific Rim - Victoria to Ucluelet, British Columbia
September 21, 2017 - I am finally heading to the Canadian shores of the Pacific Ocean!
Starting in the capital city of Victoria, at Mile Zero of the Trans-Canada Highway, I head north through the many smaller communities on the east coast of Vancouver Island, including Duncan, the home to the World's Largest Hockey Stick.
I drive the Island portion of the Trans-Canada Highway to its bitter end to Nanaimo at the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal. Rather than taking the ferry back to Vancouver, I then head northward along Highway 19 and then along Highways 4A and 4, to the west.
Along the way, one must always stop at Goats on the Roof in Coombs - and yes, there they were, grazing on the roof!
Past Port Alberni, the Pacific Rim Highway is very scenic, but rugged, twisty, and harrowing. This is another big part of why so few people manage to get to the cities of Ucluelet and Tofino, even though they're only a few hours away from the mainland.
At long last we make it to the city of Ucluelet, one of two major resort cities on the Pacific Ocean. It's a beautiful part of the province and it was worth every second of this drive.

Dona paula beach in Goa
Dona Paula is a former village and tourist destination in the suburbs of Panaji, Goa, India. It is home to some of the top Industrialists of the state, Goa University, the International Centre Goa and the National Institute of Oceanography. Being one of the hottest tourist spot in Goa there are several hotels, small and large, and the luxury Cidade de Goa is situated in the area. This place is called the Lovers Paradise in Goa, named after Dona Paula de Menezes, the daughter of a viceroy (in Portuguese India). Legend has it that Dona threw herself off the cliff, after facing objections from her family to marry a local fisherman, Gaspar Dias. This is why Dona Paula Beach is a major tourist attraction because of its myth attached to the place.
According to this, Dona Paula is entombed in the Cabo Chapel, the residence of the Governor of Goa and is supposed to be seen emerging from the moonlit waves wearing only a pearl necklace. Several tourists as well as locals guided by this myth visit the beach for a glimpse of Dona Paula. The Cabo Raj Bhavan is situated at a scenic spot of Dona Paula. It is also home of a historic British war-graves cemetery. After the end of Portuguese rule in Goa in 1961, Dona Paula became a fashionable residential area and address. Dona Paula located on the beautiful and famous sea stretch that spans from Panjim, Miramar and Dona Paula is a very famous area frequented by both Indian and Foreign Tourists. During Season time this place transforms into a crowded stretch which otherwise appears like a calm beautiful place during monsoons. A large part of the famous Hindi movie Ek Duuje Ke Liye was shot here, popularising the place further. Even one of the fighting sequence in the Rohit Shetty's Singham was shot here.

'Rollo' Gillespie 1845 Memorial Statue, Comber Square
Here is history right on our doorstep. I am in Comber to look at the Rollo Gillespie 55' high monument that dominates the town square.
Major-General Sir Robert 'Rollo' Gillespie KCB (21 January 1766 – 31 October 1814 ) was an officer in the British army.
Robert Rollo Gillespie was born and grew up in Comber, County Down, in what is now Northern Ireland. He was educated at Kensington and near Newmarket. After turning down the opportunity of going to Cambridge university he joined the 3rd Irish Horse during 1783 as a Cornet.
In 1786 he was involved in a duel in which he killed the opposing duellist . Fleeing to Scotland, he stayed briefly and then returned voluntarily to stand trial in 1788. The verdict was 'justifiable homicide' and Gillespie was acquitted. Later he earned the title Strongest Man of Comber after performing many feats of strength.
Being made Adjutant-General of St. Domingo, he was at home alone when eight men broke into his house to burgle it. Armed only with his sword, he killed six of them while the other two fled.
Over the years he served in many countries in S E Asia- India, Java, Sumatra, Nepal.
In 1804 he was honourably acquitted by a court martial of suspected involvement in a fraud scandal after which he transferred to India, travelling overland through Europe and the Middle East to take command of the 19th Light Dragoons. During the Vellore Mutiny of 1806 Gillespie set out with a relief force from the 19th within a quarter of an hour of the alarm being raised. Dashing ahead with twenty men, he saw the surviving British troops, about sixty men of the 69th commanded by NCOs and two assistant surgeons, holding the ramparts but out of ammunition. As he was unable to gain entry through the defended gate (which was controlled by the mutineers), Gillespie climbed the wall onto the battlements to take command with the aid of a rope and a sergeant's sash which was lowered to him. To gain time for the rest of the 19th to arrive he led the 69th in a bayonet-charge along the ramparts, engaging in close combat with the enemy. With the rest of the 19th now arrived Gillespie ordered them to blow in the gates with their galloper guns and then made a second charge with the 69th clearing the space just inside the gate to permit the cavalry to deploy. The 19th and Madras Cavalry then charged and slaughtered any enemy who stood in their way.
In 1811 he commanded forces in the Invasion of Java and took the city of Batavia. He was subsequently appointed Commander of the Forces in British-occupied Java and in 1812 he deposed the Sultan of Palembang in Sumatra, and took the royal Javanese city of Yogyakarta. On his return to India he speared a tiger that escaped from a cage and prowled on Bangalore racecourse. Two years later, at the beginning of the Anglo-Nepalese War, he led a column to attack a Nepalese hill fort at Khalanga, in the Battle of Nalapani, repulsing a Gurkha counter-attack. Gillespie then tried to follow them back into the fort with a dismounted party of the 8th Dragoons. Although this failed, Gillespie renewed the attack with companies of the 53rd Foot. Thirty yards from the fort he shouted the words, One shot more for the honour of Down and charged with the men when a Nepalese sharpshooter shot him through the heart and he died within seconds of falling. With his death the attack faltered causing the next senior officer to call a retreat.
He was posthumously knighted with a K.C.B. on 1 January 1815
Memorial
A large statue of Major General Sir Rollo Gillespie was constructed under the oversight of John Fraser, the first County Surveyor of Down, and was unveiled on 24 June 1845 (St. John's Day) in the Town Square of Comber. Fifty lodges of the Masonic Order were present, in what is believed to be the biggest Masonic gathering in Irish history. It was calculated that 25,000 to 30,000 people crowded into the town to witness the ceremony and celebrate the life of The Strongest Man In Comber. The column is 55 feet high. At the foot of the column are many Masonic symbols and his famous last words One shot more for the honour of Down.
