Various Topics on Canada

....

We are family of 4 (mum, dad & 2 kids aged 7 &8 ) from Singapore
coming to
Canada at the end of next May. We are planning to go to Rockies,
Calgary & Vancouver. While we
are there we want to spend 3 days in Victoria. Can you suggest an
itinerary for us? We don't want to see museums but we would love to
see
gardens and sight seeing. Another must is whale watching.

Can you suggest budget accommodations like B&B or motels which ever is
cheaper?

I was initially planning to rent a car when I arrive from Singapore.
NowI am thinking of getting the car after the Island trip. I am not
sure if I need car to travel in the island as I understand it can be
costly while doing the crossings on the ferries. Any suggestions here?

The cost of travel on the ferry to Vancouver Island is available at the
following website www.bcferries.bc.ca In May there is a possible wait of
an hour or two for cars at crowded times unless you take advantage of the
reservations available for cars. Bus service from Downtown
Vancouver/Victoria (the bus goes on the ferry with you) is a wise choice.
In Victoria there are many City Tours which can take you to the famous
Butchart Gardens and other points of interest. No need for a car.

Whale watching is available. Where depends on where the whales are when you
visit. Any Tourist Office can give you sources to obtain the latest 'Whale
News'. Consider renting a car to get to the 'whale area'.

Get a Free copy of 'BC Accomodations' from BC Tourism. www.bctourism.ca
This book shows 90%+ of the accommodations available in the Province. From
5 Star Hotels to campgrounds. Prices, location, facilities etc. are all
listed.

Have a great time!

My wife and I went there 3 yrs ago. It was beautiful. Firstly,
you'll need a rental car.
I'm most impressed with Buchart garden, and the afternoon tea in
Empress Hotel.
