Ogden Point to Cattle Point, Victoria.

 A break from the rain of the last couple of days, we have blue skies and sunshine. As we are going to a concert at the University this evening we decided
to leave a little early and drive round the coast, our first stop is the breakwater at Ogden Point.

 

Walking along the breakwater we caught site of this harbour seal. 

 

looking back to the coastal road and Holland Point from the breakwater.

 

Mile zero of the Trans Canada Highway the other end is St. Johns, Newfoundland a long way!

 

This young chap is Terry Fox the second most famous Canadian of all time.

 

A few years ago there was a poll of some sort to find the most famous Canadian it was won by Tommy Douglas, during his time as Premier of Saskatchewan he introduced the first universal health care which became the blueprint for the Canada wide system they have now. Terry Fox came second. That shows the Canadian lifestyle in a nutshell, picking two humanitarians as the most famous people. 

I wonder if the American people will hold Mr. Obama with such respect in 50 years time.

Enough of that , this is supposed to be a travel blog not a political rant (I might just get started on French politics and there be no holding me back)

Is this the tallest totem in the world?

 

We think this is an American Wigeon, it was swimming in the shallows at Cattle Point.

 

Another for my birdy buddies, we have no idea what this is, iBird is no help.

 

From Cattle Point looking towards Cadboro Bay.

The concert we went to was an International Guitar Night, 4 acoustic guitarists from Argentina, Italy, UK and USA. What a brilliant  performance.
