Day 2
We left our Vancouver hotel at 7:00 to catch the 8:30 ferry to Victoria. A short cab ride brought us to the station and we were on our way to Swartz Bay. We enjoyed the short ride in cool, breezy weather. After arriving in Victoria, we found our hotel downtown to drop off our bags. The Beaconsfield is a classic Victorian bed and breakfast and we were met at the door by the inn keeper.
A little too early to check in, we decided to take a Grey Line (double decker) bus to Buchart gardens for the afternoon. The gardens were very impressive, even for a non-gardner like myself. The entire city of Victoria seems to participate in gardening. There were flowers all over the place, include $2 million worth of roses aligning the highway!

Once we returned from the gardens, we took some time to explore the beautiful hotel and walk around town. After games and sherry in the Library, we made a fire in our room's fireplace and called it a night.

Driving through the coast along west between San Francisco and Santa Barbara was one of my interesting trips.

I was planning on embarking on a similar trip but in reverse. I live in Sacramento and want to take the round trip from here up through Redding, and into Oregon and Washington and back down to California taking the coastal route. I'm just not sure how safe it is take this trip during the winter weather. I hear its kind of harsh driving conditions etc. but I'm curious to see the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, I can't wait. From travelling that route, can you tell if its going to a rough ride / trip?

I'm actually driving up from Southern Ca. to Oregon and up to Seattle, Wa. on the first wk of Oct. I was wondering if it's still a good idea to drive up there since Oct is pretty much already into the rainy season. Anyone familiar of the rainy weather up in the Pacific NW?
