En route to Victoria, we made a stop I was told was a must see en route to Tofino, only it was closed then. So today was the day. We stopped at the Coombs Country Market, home of the goats on the roof. Unfortunately, there were no goats on the roof today. 🙁

The market is fun to walk through. There are kitschy tourist shops but also a large produce stand and an indoor food market filled with all manner of wonderful things to eat. I might stop back there on my way home.

goats apparently graze on the grass over the main market building

We did pick up some lunch meat and I bought a croissant for breakfast and apples for a snack. This is definitely a place where you could spend a lot of time… and money!
