Vancouver Island

In looking at Vancouver Island on a map, I was under the impression for quite some time that I could bicycle the length of the island in a days time.  You can image my shock when I discovered it would take six and a half hours to drive up one side! We only spent two days on Vancouver Island visiting Victoria, the stunning English style capital of British Columbia, and driving a beautiful and very windy loop around the southern portion of the island.  I was sad we didn't have more time to explore the wonderland of Vancouver Island. We learned a valuable lesson through the Vancouver Island experience:  Do  your homework and don't rush!
