Walking the Breakwater
While in Victoria recently I took a walk out on the breakwater by the downtown harbour. It looks pretty long from shore but I was still surprised by the length of the walk once I got out there.
Upon heading out I thought it would be more interesting if I climbed down from the fenced sidewalk and scrambled along the large stepped rocks right down by the water. It definitely was.
It was a fairly decent trek out to the bend where looking back I couldn’t see the shore anymore and looking forward I could make out the small lighthouse in the distance.
I continued all the way out and around the point containing the lighthouse where I paused for a few minutes to take it all in. The city had faded away and I could hear nothing but the breeze and the waves splashing along the rocks.
It was quite the relaxing and interesting experience.
