Victoria, British Columbia: The Ultimate 2-Day Itinerary

Welcome to one of our favourite places on Earth: Victoria, British Columbia! In this vlog, we’re taking you along for a magical spring day on Vancouver Island, and the capital of BC, Victoria, AKA the city of flowers! From the historic streets of Downtown, walking among the most beautiful parliament building we've ever seen, the gorgeous Fairmont hotel and stunning Chinatown, to the blooming world of Butchart Gardens, we’re sharing the ultimate 2-day itinerary! We start our day wandering through the oldest Chinatown in Canada, grabbing dinner at a delicious Indian restaurant downtown, and soaking in all the pink Cherry Blossoms that make this city feel like a fairytale. Of course, no trip to Victoria is complete without Tea Time and a visit to the iconic Butchart Gardens. We also make a stop at the stunning Hatley Castle (X-Men fans, you’ll recognize this one!) to explore the gardens and history. Whether you're planning a trip or just dreaming of the Pacific Northwest, we hope this guide helps you see the best of Victoria! 🎬 In this Episode: 00:00 Intro 01:11 The Parliament Building 02:45 The Fairmont Hotel 03:45 Main Street Downtown 04:41 Canada's Oldest Chinatown 08:16 The Butchart Gardens 16:31 Afternoon Tea 20:38 Hatley Castle 25:01 Thanks for Watching 🔔 Subscribe and join us for more real & raw travel vlogs! 🚐 Join us on our nomadic journey! We’re Storm & Dalton — aka The Nomadic Sweethearts! We live nomadically, travelling full-time in our 22’ trailer with our two dogs, Minnie and Drogo! We were living "normal" corporate lives when the pandemic hit, and like many others, our jobs became remote. We were stuck in a frozen suburban neighbourhood in Ontario, Canada, for months and just about went mad. We decided to make a drastic change. We bought a large SUV, sold all our belongings, packed up the dogs and some clothes and headed west. Travelling for ~2 years while staying in short-term rentals, working remotely and travelling through western Canada, Florida and even Saint Lucia! Eventually, we couldn't stand living in "other people's" homes any longer and upgraded to a truck + travel trailer and have now been nomads with a "home" we bring with us! We just wrapped up the most ambitious road trip of our lives, from Key West, Florida, to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, at the Arctic Ocean! This series follows our wild journey north with weekly travel vlogs, campground experiences, behind-the-scenes RV life, and more! Now we are planning to travel through Vancouver Island for the winter and then continue exploring more of Canada! We are incredibly grateful for all of you here to support our journey.
