Things I love about Victoria

So I had one of those moments the other day - while wandering down government street with my family admiring the hanging baskets - where I felt very lucky to live in this beautiful city of ours. There is just something special about this city that feels like a small town. Watching the harbour ferries tootle about under the grand visages of the Empress Hotel and the Legislature while the tourists clop-clop past in their horse drawn carriages I always get the feeling I'm very fortunate to live here. Every now and then I'll overhear a tourist say "wouldn't it be wonderful to live here" and I think to myself, Yes... Yes it is.

So I'd like to hear from you, ladies and gents. What do you love about Victoria?
Is it the friendly people? The long summer days? The snow on the trees in the winter? The nature and wildlife? The festivals? The pubs, clubs, and restaurants? The mountains? The shopping?

Leave a comment and let us know what you love about Victoria.

A good time had by all

Thanks everyone for attending the Victoria Kiwis Hangi. There was a great turn-out and the weather was brilliant.
A big thanks goes out to Dave Cresswell for hosting the Hangi again this year and to all the volunteers for helping to make the big day happen.

It's always wonderful to see so many local kiwis, friends and family out enjoying the fun, food, culture and entertainment.

We hope to see you all back next year.
Stay tuned for the next Victoria Kiwis event.
