Ft. Rodd Hill

Yumi and I took advantage of a holiday in Japan to take the ferry over to Victoria on Friday morning. We arrived on the island at 10:30 a.m. and slowly drove down the west side of the Saanich penninsula, aiming to be at Ft. Rodd Hill national park for lunch.

It's a beautiful site on the ocean, with former coast artillery fortifications and a picturesque lighthouse.

That's me beneath the fire-directing tower, leaning on a cannon.
