Виктория. Забудьте про сугробы! Пальмы и фонтаны в январе!

Victoria is a beautiful city, a pleasant stroll at any time of year. It's a city with a fascinating history—a history of incredible development, one that even Trump's grandfather could have played a part in during the Klondike gold rush. Victoria is a beautiful corner of Canada, where fountains flow year-round and palm trees line the streets. And I'll tell you all about this today during a winter stroll through Victoria, the capital of British Columbia on Vancouver Island. I'll also tell you about another island, the site of a 50-year-long standoff between Denmark and Canada, and how it all ended recently. 00:00 - Introduction. 00:44 - Arrival on Vancouver Island—in Victoria! 02:25 - Port, Victoria's central waterfront, and the Parliament Building.
