Busy In Victoria

Busy, busy, busy.....

Our time in Victoria some how always speeds by with visiting our son Jim & Cass, friends and Craig's cousins.  This trip was exceptionally busy as we had good friends from out of town visit at Jim & Cass's for a huge prime rib dinner.

We seemed to have commitments every day and evening so luckily we had rented a car for the two weeks to provide us with some flexibility.  Craig still cannot walk any distance, so there was no option but to have a vehicle at our disposal!

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Although busy we loved every minute!

The 8lb Prime Rib
Do not even ask how much it cost!

Standing on the new Black Ball Ferry Terminal

We took a quick side trip with the rental car to Port Angeles, Port Orchard, Port Townsend,
Port Gamble, and Poulsbo

We have spent time and enjoyed Poulsbo before!
These small treats are from Sluy's Bakery.

Then it was a drive up the coast to Port Gamble, WA
This was our first visit to this historic village.
Very picturesque and undergoing an extensive harbour refit

One of the old "mansions" in Port Gamble

One very old tree!

These are propellors for the Black Ball Ferry MV Coho!

Our good friends Penny & Mike brought their 5th Wheel down for a visit with us
We spent three days together and had an awesome time!

Jim & Cass put in a request to go to Salt Spring Island
They wanted to shop at the Ganges Market!

Wooden Work Boat Gathering
Government Docks, Ganges, BC

We were told to go to  Les Chocolats Favoris store 
in Downtown Victoria

Amazing cones!
These were dipped mini-cones!
The chocolate is approx. 1/4" thick!

I saw these wheel covers on a Sprinter
Great Concept.

These are RealWheel Covers
I think these will be on order for our LTV RealSoon!

Our wheel covers squeak, rattle and roll around the rims!
You can order these Real Wheel Covers direct!
Hmmm, let me think about this :)

While we were here "The Royals" visited!

On To Vancouver Island

Two Weeks In Victoria!
15th to 30th September 2016



8hrs and 543kms plus the ferry!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferry Wait

We headed off early from home so we could catch the 12:00am ferry to Vancouver Island.  The drive went well and the weather held for us, not only for the drive but for most of our time in Victoria.

In line and waiting for the noon ferry at Tsawwassen Ferry to Schwartz Bay

Parked with the big boys!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Westbay RV Park

Once again we stayed at the Westbay Marina and RV Park which we absolutely love!  We had a great site, #22, and had a view of the cruise ships and harbour. Although we were informed that the RV Park is on leased land, the lease is now up and it is rumoured that the park will be closed.  Not sure if that is what will happen but we will keep monitoring the situation and keep our fingers crossed that the rumours are not true!

Site 22 - overlooking Victoria Harbour

Cruise Ship Terminal
Every night we were here another cruise ship arrived!

For those cold nights we have Craig's old training academy blanket
A 1966 "Made in Quebec" RCMP Wool Blanket

Beautiful Sunsets!

Amazing Sunrises!

Craig does not sleep well, so it is his job to capture the sunrises!
