Victoria, BC

Of all the places we stopped on the cruise, the one that I can say with 100% certainty that we will absolutely go back to is Victoria. We had the least amount of time here and still probably loved it the most. Because we had such a time crunch, we lined up to leave the boat before we had even docked, and we literally hit the ground running in order to catch a cab into the city. Unlike the Alaskan cities,  in order to get into town, you have a bit of a drive (or a really really long walk). Our first stop was Tim Hortons, obviously, and then we took in the sights downtown. The Parliament building is absolutely stunning, especially at night, and the rest of the city is beautiful too--it has a sort of European feel to it. Since Canada is a commonwealth country, and Victoria itself is named after Queen Victoria (there's even a statue of her in front of Parliament!), there were little nods to England all over the place. I was in heaven. Seriously, if I never get to live in England, I'll take moving to Victoria as a consolation prize and be very content with it.
