Victoria is cool and wet. The weather has been 5 degrees and rainy consistently everyday since I arrived.
On the plus side the roads are clear, the lawns are green and many gardens are adorned with beautiful little yellow flowers.
That is until you turn a corner at km 220.
A drive ~225 km north confirmed that Vancouver Island, the bottom part at least, remains largely snow-free.
That is until you turn a corner at km 220. Instantly snow appears.
I'm not talking about a dusting of snow either. There is more snow at Mount Washington than I have ever seen in my life. It boasts a base of 435 cm of snow! How is possible to go from zero to 4 meters in the space of one highway turn off? My only conclusion is that Vancouver Island is somehow gifted with a Shangri-la type magic.

So glad you were able to stop by in Camelot on the left coast en route to Korea Jules. Have a wonderful time there and travelling and come back safe and rich!
