This was a hectic day - my advice, dont do Vancouver island in a day! However we did and it was fun. We caught our first bus at 7am a couple of transfers and we were at Horseshoe bay - we hopped on the ferry to Nanaimo which is mid island and 1hr30 mins trip. From Nanaimo we hired a car, i was the designated driver and have really got the hang of automatic and right hand side of the road driving. Took us a good 2hrs and we arrived in Victoria the capital of British Columbia. Our first stop was Fisherman's Wharf as i hadn't been here on my previous trip - it was lovely. 
In Victoria downtown we had a good walk around and were lucky enough to experience the opening of Parliament so there was a lot of vibe and activity going on especially as there were protesters causing trouble!
Next stop was Buchart Gardens, this was about half an hour drive outside of Victoria, the pictures speak for themselves, the gardens are just gorgeous!!
Victoria is lovely and nice for a couple of days visit, but it really doesn't feel like Canada, you could be anywhere really! We finally arrived home at 10.30 pm that night, knackered!!
