What's up my friend? I'm still in Victoria and I wanted to share about another one of the days that I spent here.

So the day started out with a little bit of window shopping and exploring the city. Then I found a great place to grab something to eat. I was in the mood for sushi and I tried something I've never even heard of before, yam sushi. It was actually so good! It also had some avocado and cucumber too. Super yummy!
After that I headed to the bay area and took a ferry boat over to the fisherman's wharf. It's a small little port community of floating homes and tourist shops.

I found the homes so fascinating and I'm just so curious about what it would be like to live in one. Personally, I'd imagine the lack of privacy would drive me crazy, but I guess if I was a fisherman or a sailor it would be worth it. They all even had cute little boat names like "Water's Edge" and "Moonshadow".
It must be a very unique lifestyle.
So then there's the really fun part. I went on a whale watching tour on a really nice boat. We saw so many creatures. Everything from the national bird of my country, the bald eagle, to whales and various species of pinipeds (such as seals, walrus, and sea lions)
I wish I could share more pictures of the creatures but, I'll be honest, the wind was intense and the day got rainy at times so I did my best to keep my camera safe. Although, I did get some footage and I really hope to get a video of my whole trip together soon. Oh, but I did capture a photo of one of the humpback whales diving!

If you're ever planning a visit, I'd definitely recommend a whale watching adventure. Oh, but bring planty of warm clothes. However, if that's not your thing you should at least stop by Fisherman's wharf.
Until next time........

There will be a day where I will use the steemit coins to travel.
One day, when these coins will be valuable to get to know other countries and other continents.
One day, where steemit's revenue will allow it all.
But that day is not today.

Isn't Vancouver Island just tranquil?
Being from Australia, our trip to Canada and the US was pretty special!
We had so many laughs and great times chilling out in Victoria. We stayed at a cute airbnb just outside of the city. The dude we stayed with worked at a microbrewery and gave us a few beers to try out while we were there. We went on a ghost tour, ate so much chocolate and had quite the whale watching debacle (but learned so much when we finally got out to sea!). I think it is totally worth a post of it's own on my blog.
It's so hard choosing just one thing to write about daily. I settled on today's vegan soup - pumpkin and kale. I was actually surprised it turned out as orange as it did (although I did add turmeric to try to keep the orange colour. Is that cheating?? Hehe!)
Take care!
Nick.
Wow, delightful and exciting journey
I'm from BC myself! I've got some fond memories of riding the ferries between Vancouver and Victoria. Hope you're enjoying Canada so far!! :D

Great photography dear
You're pretty lucky to have seen the whales! Many times they swim and hide away quickly. I've seen that happen here often in northern Quebec. Btw, let me know if you ever come to this part of Canada and I'll be glad to guide you :) Thanksfor sharing your travel experience and keep enjoying your stay in Victoria!
Looks like you had a great time in Victoria @gringalicious. Fisherman's Wharf looks very colourful and inviting, thanks for taking us along with you. That's awesome you were able to capture some humpback whales in action too :)
Amazing photos of Victoria BC @gringalicious! I resteemed :)
I went to Victoria once as well and did some whale watching it was amazing!!!

Great post!
Ohhh! These shots so amazing! I like to go to sea and to watch the whales by boat , I reminded last time when I went to the sea to watch the The dolphins , it was unforgettable moments we spent there.
I want to do a tour with you I would not starve @gringalicious
That's a big Catch..Mean whale picture. beautiful pics.
Dear Victoria,
I don't know how you give that effect that, before I begin my typing, I smile. Your warmth spreads over to me and I always look forward to hearing from you.
It feels like you have been gone for two months. I managed to fix something light and simple to eat, all I know is I will survive before you come back. Hahaha.
I am delighted you are doing great in Victoria, Victoria. It is so good to receive the post card and I saw the gift you left in my mail box (post). Thank you so much, it is really huge for me.
I am glad you enjoyed the yam sushi, and I need to ask, is it something we are trying soon when you come back? I will go to the market today and get those ingredients ready. I don't think I can make the delicacy so I won't ruin your welcome home party. Hahaha.
The floating homes and tourist shops are so amazing!. Portable and so cute. I love simple places like this.
Will you be able to put the video together? Would be nice to see the Whale watering adventure. I am glad you are having a fun time dear. You deserve it, really.
I don't want to distract you from the fun and time, so let me just drop right here. I look forward to reading more of your adventures and of course lot of more beautiful pictures of you Victoria.
Thank you for all you do. I really appreciate you.
NB: I am making you my Woman Crush Wednesday, watch out for the stuffs I have to say.
Till I read from you again...
With love,
Olawalium
Your taster.
