Cruising is always a joy and new ports are always adventures.

I hope you enjoy the entries, and I would appreciate your feedback. If I have missed one or more of your favourite places in the cities, let me know!

Thank you to Lynda Thompson, Lovette Kyllo, Kelly Raine, Jamie Robertson and Katie Robertson for sharing their personal photos...... and, of course, Google maps and Wikipedia photos.

From the thousands of pictures of Vancouver Island that I have taken, I have sorted some of them into months. This is a vanity project that I have enjoyed doing!
