Adventures in Victoria - Part 2
Wednesday was the day when we visited the Thetis Lake Regional Park, a region that was declared Canada's first nature sanctuary, in 1958. There you can go for a hike, for a swim or just relax on a rock by the lakesore. We decided to take our bikes on the trails for some extra adventure, which would have been a great idea if we had brought our helmets, but we hadn't and I ended up falling head first and getting some bruises and a black eye. Now I understand my sister Mirian's pain when she fell from her bike head first going downhill when we were teenagers. It does hurt. I learned my lesson: I will not bike without a helmet anymore.
Apart from this - thank God - minor accident, the park was totally awesome.
The trails were really well kept and the forest is quite beautiful. We even had a chance to take a picture of a woodpecker. For those who like to fish, apparently you can catch trout and some sort of bass in the lake.
To make your way to the lake by bike, you can take the Galloping Goose and turn on Six Miles Road, which will take you directly to the Main Beach, where there is an entrance to the park. You can also go by car and park in one of the many parking lots they have available.
